This ignores prevents probe deferred warnings in the log output and stores the
probe deferred reason in the device structure. 

If a probe is permanently deferred, the last deferral reason why it was displayed. 

Other dev_err_probe outputs are displayed as before.

Hello Johannes,

Title could be made to focus on the purpose of the patch instead of
the mechanism, e.g.:

  base: driver: print dev_err_probe message on permanent probe deferral

Some more comments below.

You probably meant to delete either ignores/prevents here. Also deferred warnings
weren't displayed before already, so this is not newly introduced with this patch.

kfree and free that it wraps already have a NULL check, so no need to repeat.

barebox uses Kernel coding style, If the if clause has braces, the else does too.
But int return here is redundant and makes code a bit harder to follow.
You could just return the pointer directly and have users check against NULL.

if (dev->deferred_probe_reason) or if (reason) ? (with reason defined above)

This can lead to quite long lines, e.g.:

  40012000.pin-controller@40012000.of: probe permanently deferred (40012000.pin-controller@40012000.of: couldn't request clock)

I am fine with either one or two lines, but the device name shouldn't be printed
twice. See below.

drv suggests this is related to the driver, but this is just the device name
and not dev->drv.name.

Can be dropped in favor of direct assignment below.

No need to check

No need to add the dev_name() prefix into the deferred_probe_reason,
when you can just use dev_err at permanent probe deferral time to have
it printed.

I'd prefer you keep this part. When debugging it can be useful to know
that a probe was deferred, especially when debugging issues related to
it (violated time constraints, inadequate cleanup). Just do your
extra stuff below.

Nitpick: Usual coding style is /* deferred... etc */

> +	if(err == -EPROBE_DEFER){

whitespace after if. No braces per kernel coding style.

} else { or rather else without braces.
