        queued for v5.12 anyway)

Rob doesn't like the proliferation of OF_POPULATED and we don't need
it anymore, so maybe work it out with him? It's a balance between some
wasted memory (struct device(s)) vs not proliferating OF_POPULATED.

Good to see more evidence that this series is fixing things at a more
generic level.

I spoke too soon: if CONFIG_POWER_RESET_RMOBILE=n,
booting fails again, as everything is waiting on the system controller,
which never becomes available.
Rcar-sysc doesn't suffer from this problem, cfr. above.
Perhaps because the rmobile-sysc bindings use a hierarchical instead
of a linear PM domain description, and thus consumers point to the
children of the system controller node?
Cfr. system-controller@e6180000 in arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7740.dtsi.

Ok, I see what's going on. The problem is that the "power domain"
fwnode being registered is not the node that contains the "compatible"
property and becomes a device. So this patch[1] is not helping here.
Fix is to do something like this (to avoid using OF_POPULATED flag and
breaking reset):

Can you give it a shot?
