OK. I think I need to study the code more...

OK. Something is wrong here then, since this really isn't an error:
* It should be commented about why you're deferring.
* You shouldn't have a dev_err for something that's not fatal.
Ideally we'd want something that would force probing to happen in the
right order. I spent a little time looking and didn't see anything,
but maybe I'm missing something obvious. If nothing pops out, the
defer seems OK as long as it is commented well.
