Sorry, I somehow missed this email from you until now.

If it fails, then it probably doesn't matter if it is a bit late. But for defer, isn't there
some optimizations to track the dependency from devicetree data? I am
not entirely sure!

Since qmp node is related to ACD, I felt it is better to:
  1. Keep all acd probe related code in a single place.
  2. Be more opportunistic in skipping qmp_get() wherever possible.

But if you still have strong opinion on this, I can move it back in the
next revision (v3).
