The client is left with mode_sets that\nhave a mode and connectors but mode_set->fb == NULL, and nothing\nmarks this fb_helper as needing a retry.\n\n__drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked() only skips committing\nwhen fb_helper->deferred_setup is set, so a later .restore() call\n(drm_lastclose() on process exit, in this report) commits the stale\nmode_set through drm_client_modeset_commit() ->\ndrm_client_modeset_commit_atomic() -> __drm_atomic_helper_set_config(),\nwhich hits WARN_ON(!set->fb).\n\nMark fb_helper->deferred_setup on any drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe()\nfailure, not just -EAGAIN, so restore keeps skipping the commit until\na later hotplug event successfully re-probes and re-populates\nmode_set->fb. The real error code is still returned to the caller\nunchanged."
