If we already have gotten the rproc_handle (meaning the "qcom,rproc" property is defined in the devicetree), it's a valid state that the remoteproc module hasn't probed yet so we should defer probing instead of just failing to probe. This resolves a race condition when the ath11k driver probes and fails before the wpss remoteproc driver has probed, like the following: [ 6.232360] ath11k 17a10040.wifi: failed to get rproc [ 6.232366] ath11k 17a10040.wifi: failed to get rproc: -22 [ 6.232478] ath11k: probe of 17a10040.wifi failed with error -22 ... [ 6.252415] remoteproc remoteproc2: 8a00000.remoteproc is available [ 6.252776] remoteproc remoteproc2: powering up 8a00000.remoteproc [ 6.252781] remoteproc remoteproc2: Booting fw image qcom/qcm6490/fairphone5/wpss.mdt, size 7188 So, defer the probe if we hit that so we can retry later once the wpss remoteproc is available.
