serdev controllers may depend on other devices (such as multiplexers)
and thus require deferred probing support.

I wonder if instead of deferring, we could just delay binding the
devices. There's really no reason to defer the controller. This is a
small addition, but deferring involves a lot of undoing and redoing of
initialization.
