Sure!

Not quite sure how to implement dev_err_probe, but I think this should
be quite okay?

		if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(sdev->icc_paths[i])) {
			ret = dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(sdev->icc_paths[i]),
				      "failed to get interconnect path %u\n", i);
			if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
				goto err;
			continue;
		}

That would still keep the current behavior for defer vs permanent error
while printing when necessary and having it for devices_deferred for the
defer case.

Not sure what the difference between drm_err and dev_err are, but I
trust you on that.

Let me know.

Luca
