The error is caused by mtk_dp_edp_link_panel() returning -EPROBE_DEFER
(most likely because something is missing). However this callback must
not defer, it's called at at a different point.

The actual issue seems to be in these lines. The callback tries to bind
all components, however it should not as the DPI isn't available yet.
