I just realized that DRM won't load if any of host1x drivers fail to probe. I 
think the behaviour should be consistent in a case of driver-probe and client-
init failures. It looks like changing drivers probe error handling will be a 
much bigger change, hence let's keep the old behaviour at least for now.
