But my patch 1 (and my other patches some time ago for wsa speakers)
does exactly the same as this one here in few other places - introduces
better message printing of EPROBE_DEFER. Only in one place it is equivalent.

If you prefer, I can mention the message/EPROBE_DEFER difference in
commit msgs.
