[PATCH] ARM: 9220/1: amba: Add sanity check for dev->periphid in amba_probe()

Commit f2d3b9a46e0e ("ARM: 9220/1: amba: Remove deferred device addition")
forcibly invokes device_add() even if dev->periphid is not ready. Although
it will be remedied in amba_match(): dev->periphid will be initialized
if everything is in place; Otherwise, return -EPROBE_DEFER to block
__driver_attach() from further execution. But not all drivers have .match
hook, such as pl031, the dev->bus->probe will be called directly in
__driver_attach(). Unfortunately, if dev->periphid is still not
initialized, the following exception will be triggered.

Therefore, take the same action as in amba_match(): return -EPROBE_DEFER
if dev->periphid is not ready in amba_probe().
