[PATCH 1/1] tpm_tis: handle -EPROBE_DEFER in tpm_tis_plat_probe()

From: Dirk Gouders
Date: Fri Feb 05 2021 - 15:31:33 EST


tpm_tis does not consider -EPROBE_DEFER in tpm_tis_plat_probe().
Instead, without notification it falls back to polling mode if
platform_get_irq_optional() returns a negative value.

This could lead to different behavior depending on wether tpm_tis was
compiled builtin or as a module; in the latter case
platform_get_irq_optional() often if not always returns a valid IRQ
number on the first attempt.

Harmonize builtin and module behavior by returning -EPROBE_DEFER,
effectively putting the device on the deferred probe list for later
probe attempts.
