You are saying that the ref counts will be correct only if 
for_each_dss_dev() is fully completed?

Maybe we can save the first dssdev which doesn't connect, save that 
dssdev and let the loop continue for the refcount to get decremented again.

Or maybe use omap_dss_get_next_device in a custom loop, which takes care 
of doing a put() for the device before returning.

The one's that were already connected won't connect again and return an 
error which isn't EPROBE_DEFER, so that should be okay right?
