I'm worrying the case ufshcd_pltfrm_probe() is called when ufshcd-pltfrm
module is installed but ufs-qcom module is _not_ installed yet, where
ufshcd-pltfrm and ufs-qcom are both built as loadable modules.

In this case, of_platform_populate() in ufshcd_pltfrm_probe() doesn't
invoke ufs-qcom probe, does it?  So I suggested using deferred probe
infrastructure by returning -EPROBE_DEFER.

Thanks for fixing it.  But a little more work is needed in v3,
I'll leave a comment to v3.
