From: Benson Leung <bleung@xxxxxxxxxxxx> mbox_request_channel() currently returns EBUSY in the event the controller is not present or if of_xlate() fails, but in neither case is EBUSY really appropriate. Return EPROBE_DEFER if the controller is not yet present and change of_xlate() to return an ERR_PTR instead of NULL so that the error can be propagated back to the caller of mbox_request_channel().
