[PATCH v1] platform/chrome: cros_usbpd_notify: defer probe when parent EC driver isn't ready

From: Jameson Thies

Date: Fri Sep 26 2025 - 16:22:37 EST


The cros-usbpd-notify-acpi probe currently does not exit when it fails
to get a pointer to the ChromeOS EC device. It is expected behavior on
older devices, where GOOG0004 is not a parent of GOOG0003.

Update the cros-usbpd-notify-acpi probe to check for a GOOG0004 parent
fwnode. If the device has correct device hierarchy and fails to get an
EC device pointer, defer the probe function.
