Is this an error that you have actually seen in practice?
My understanding is that this function should return the handle to the *local*
fwnode graph endpoint, which relates to the static device-tree description
and should be unrelated to another driver probing.
So as far as I can see, this should not be needed (but correct me if I'm wrong).
Cheers,
Paul
