ge_b850v3_lvds_ptr->stdp4028_i2c was just assigned, is there any
situation it wouldn't be assigned here?

stdp2690_ge_b850v3_fw_probe() seems to contain an identical snippet,
so I assume symmetry is why both stdp2690_i2c and stdp4028_i2c are
checked in both locations. Unless you think otherwise, I would suggest
removing the stdp4028_i2c check from stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_probe() and
the stdp2690_i2c check from stdp2690_ge_b850v3_fw_probe().

> + return 0;

My reading of this code is that stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_probe() and
stdp2690_ge_b850v3_fw_probe() are racing, and the 2nd driver to probe
will go ahead and call ge_b850v3_register(). Is there any reason why
EPROBE_DEFER isn't used here?
