[PATCH v2] drm/omap: dss: fix handling deferrals

[PATCH v2] drm/omap: dss: fix handling deferrals

[Andreas Kemnade]

Forward the error given by of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint() if it is
EPROBE_DEFER to ensure output gets initialized later when available.

On GTA04/OMAP3 no display was found, but it appeared after doing
rmmod omapdrm ; modprobe omapdrm

Fixes: b7e9b93fc8ecf ("drm/omap: dss: don't create a panel_bridge")

- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20261111-gta04-drm-regression-fix-v1-1-1de27d5ba46a@kemnade.info
