If a probe function returns -EPROBE_DEFER after creating another device there is a change of ending up in a probe deferral loop, (see commit fbc35b45f9f6 ("Add documentation on meaning of -EPROBE_DEFER"). In case of the qcom-pmic-typec driver the tcpm_register_port() function looks up external resources (USB role switch and inherently via called typec_register_port() USB-C muxes, switches and retimers). In order to prevent such probe-defer loops caused by qcom-pmic-typec driver, use the API added by Johan Hovold and move HPD bridge registration to the end of the probe function. The devm_drm_dp_hpd_bridge_add() is called at the end of the probe function after all TCPM start functions. This is done as a way to overcome a different problem, the DRM subsystem can not properly cope with the DRM bridges being destroyed once the bridge is attached. Having this function call at the end of the probe function prevents possible DRM bridge device creation followed by destruction in case one of the TCPM start functions returns an error.
