commit 424eafe65647a8d6c690284536e711977153195a upstream.
When i2c-cros-ec-tunnel and the EC driver are built-in, the EC parent device will not be found, leading to NULL pointer dereference.
That can also be reproduced by unbinding the controller driver and then loading i2c-cros-ec-tunnel module (or binding the device).

Returning -EPROBE_DEFER will allow the device to be bound once the controller is bound, in the case of built-in drivers.
