Hi Wang,

Thank you for the patch.

It's not a bug. The existing code works as expected. dev_err_probe() is
nicer though, as it records the reason for the probe deferral. Here's a
proposal for a better commit message:

  It is possible that dma_request_chan() returns EPROBE_DEFER, in which
  case the driver defers probing without printing any message. Use
  dev_err_probe() to record the probe deferral cause and ease debugging.

The alignment is wrong, this should be

			ret = dev_err_probe(disp->dev, PTR_ERR(dma->chan),
					    "failed to request dma channel\n");

If you're fine with those changes, I can fix this locally, there's no
need to resubmit.
