Right, if I have a of_graph port@1 which references something that isn't
available we can reliably claim this is -EPROBE_DEFER.

Are you suggesting that if we find a "port" or "ports" we return -ENODEV
if we didn't find the requested port@N?

I think that makes sense, i.e. if we found an of_graph reference, but
it's not a panel yet.

I'm afraid I don't have any good suggestions on determining if that
child node is a panel/bridge or something else.

The explicit of_graph reference is a little bit clunky, but it's clear
and doesn't rely on "skipping" or only including names based on
particular names etc.

So I am in favour of reverting this back to the explicit reference.
