On its own, this change looks a little strange and doesn't do too much useful. To understand why we're doing this we need to look forward to future patches where we're going to probe our panel using the new DP AUX bus. See the patch ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Add support for the DP AUX bus"). Let's think about the set of steps we'll want to happen when we have the DP AUX bus: 1. We'll create the DP AUX bus. 2. We'll populate the devices on the DP AUX bus (AKA our panel). 3. For setting up the bridge-related functions of ti-sn65dsi86 we'll need to get a reference to the panel. If we do #1 - #3 in a single probe call things _mostly_ will work, but it won't be massively robust. Let's explore. First let's think of the easy case of no -EPROBE_DEFER. In that case in step #2 when we populate the devices on the DP AUX bus it will actually try probing the panel right away. Since the panel probe doesn't defer then in step #3 we'll get a reference to the panel and we're golden. Second, let's think of the case when the panel returns -EPROBE_DEFER. In that case step #2 won't synchronously create the panel (it'll just add the device to the defer list to do it later). Step #3 will fail to get the panel and the bridge sub-device will return -EPROBE_DEFER. We'll depopulate the DP AUX bus. Later we'll try the whole sequence again. Presumably the panel will eventually stop returning -EPROBE_DEFER and we'll go back to the first case where things were golden. So this case is OK too even if it's a bit ugly that we have to keep creating / deleting the AUX bus over and over. So where is the problem? As I said, it's mostly about robustness. I don't believe that step #2 (creating the sub-devices) is really guaranteed to be synchronous. This is evidenced by the fact that it's allowed to "succeed" by just sticking the device on the deferred list. If anything about the process changes in Linux as a whole and step #2 just kicks off the probe of the DP AUX endpoints (our panel) in the background then we'd be in trouble because we might never get the panel in step #3. Adding an extra sub-device means we just don't need to worry about it. We'll create the sub-device for the DP AUX bus and it won't go away until the whole ti-sn65dsi86 driver goes away. If the bridge sub-device defers (maybe because it can't find the panel) that won't depopulate the DP AUX bus and so we don't need to worry about it. NOTE: there's a little bit of a trick here. Though the AUX channel can run without the MIPI-to-eDP bits of the code, the MIPI-to-eDP bits can't run without the AUX channel. We could come up a complicated signaling scheme (have the MIPI-to-eDP bits return EPROBE_DEFER for a while or wait on some sort of completion), but it seems simple enough to just not even bother creating the bridge device until the AUX channel probes. That's what we'll do.
