It's pretty possible to have the spi_register_controller() method returning -EPROBE_DEFER status in case, for instance, if the GPIOs used for the CS implementation aren't ready to be requested due to the corresponding platform devices still pending to be probed. Let's make sure the DW SSI driver won't print error message in that case by calling the dev_err_probe() function if the SPI-registration procedure exited with a non-zero status.
