Hi Wang,
Thank you for the patch.

It's not a bug. The existing code works as expected. dev_err_probe() is
nicer though, as it records the reason for the probe deferral. Here's a
proposal for a better commit message:
It is possible that dma_request_chan() returns EPROBE_DEFER, in which
case the driver defers probing without printing any message. Use
dev_err_probe() to record the probe deferral cause and ease debugging.
If you're fine with this, there's no need to resubmit, I'll update the
commit message locally and merge the patch.
