[Star Wars] Did Luke commit an act of Desertion when he went to Dagobah?

It doesn't seem like he got permission from any of his superiors to go there. Did he clear it with anyone? It seems like the Rebels were expecting him to regroup with them after the battle of Hoth- even R2 thinks that's what they're supposed to do and asks why he isn't doing it. So it seems like not regrouping without telling anyone should be considered desertion. And he stole valuable military equipment to boot.

Did Luke ever suffer any consequences for that?

Even if there's members of Rebel high command that are annoyed Luke does whatever he feels like, what are they really going to do to him? Luke is *the* hero of the Rebellion, destroyer of the Death Star, last Jedi, and one of the best pilots they have. As long as Luke isn't walking around disembowling random members of the Rebellion, no one is probably going to have too much to say to him.
