This is good. I'd suggest splitting this into smaller chunks. First,
move all resource binding, then move the actual dp_aux handling. It
would be easier to review it this way.

This is not handled properly. The eDP aux probing is asynchronous, so
you should move the second stage into the done_probing() part, rather
than relying on the -EPROBE_DEFER. There can be cases, when the panel
driver is not available at the DP's probe time. In such cases we
should leave the DP driver probed, then wait for the panel before
binding the component.

This link is useless, since its contents are not public.
