Maybe as an immediate fix we can move the platform driver registration
out of probe as suggested by Andrzej?

I posted an RFC patch a couple of days ago [0] that fixes both the
deadlock and the infinite loop bug so it would be great if you can
review/test so I can post a proper patch.

And then we can look how to better refactor the exynos drm driver.

Best regards,
Javier
