I don't understand why registering the platform drivers in the
exynos_drm_init() will make deferred probing to not work correctly?
AFAICT it does not matter where the driver is registered since if the
driver probe function is called when the driver is attached and fails
with -EPROBE_DEFER, it will be added to the deferred list and the
probe function will be retried when other drivers are registered due
devices being added (e.g: by OF when matching a compatible string). Or
maybe I'm missing something here?

By the way, I tried moving the platform driver registration to
exynos_drm_init() as suggested by Andrzej and it fixed both the issue
reported in $subject (which is the same reported by Kevin) and the
infinite loop you were tried to fix with your "drm/exynos: fix
infinite loop issue incurred by no pair" patch.

I didn't have display working but that is expected since the machine
is a Peach Pit that has a eDP/LVDS bridge and needs out-of-tree
patches.

I also reverted a few patches on linux-next that said to be fixing
infinite loop issues,  these are:

7afbfcc drm/exynos: fix possible infinite loop issue (in fact I had to
revert this to move the registration from the probe function)
f7c2f36f drm/exynos: resolve infinite loop issue on non multi-platform
06a2f5c drm/exynos: resolve infinite loop issue on multi-platform

And I didn't have the infinite loop issue, so I wonder if those
patches are really necessary or were trying to fix the cause explained
by Andrzej.
