I wouldn't say they raise the deferral, they just inform resource is not
yet available. Only device driver, and only in its probe function can
"raise the deferral".

This patchset tries to solve simple issue - replace multiple lines of
code present in multiple probe functions (additionally fixing lot of
them) with single call and then enhance it little bit, nothing more.
What you are proposing is blurry at the moment for me, provider does not
know if consumer want to defer, or will continue working without
missing resource, moreover some consumers can acquire resources after
probe - again no probe deferral. Even if it will be done (it can be, for
example by creating probe version of all resource get functions), it
will require much more changes but finally it will look like:
res = devm_get_resource_from_probe(....)
if (IS_ERR(res))
return PTR_ERR(res);
vs:
res = devm_get_resource(...)
if (IS_ERR(res))
return dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(res), ...);
