commit f79ee78767ca60e7a2c89eacd2dbdf237d97e838 upstream.
We need to bail out before adding/removing devices if we are going to
-EPROBE_DEFER. Otherwise boot can get stuck in a probe deferral loop due
to a long-standing issue in driver core (see commit fbc35b45f9f6 ("Add
documentation on meaning of -EPROBE_DEFER")).
Deregistering the altmode child device can potentially also trigger bugs
in the DRM bridge implementation, which does not expect bridges to go
away.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
