Now that fw_devlink=on by default and fw_devlink supports
"power-domains" property, the execution will never get to the
point
where driver_deferred_probe_check_state() is called before the
supplier
has probed successfully or before deferred probe timeout has
expired.

So, delete the call and replace it with -ENODEV.

Looks like this causes omaps to not boot in Linux next. With this
simple-pm-bus fails to probe initially as the power-domain is not
yet available. On platform_probe() genpd_get_from_provider() returns
-ENOENT.

Seems like other stuff is potentially broken too, any ideas on
how to fix this?

I think I'm hit by this as well, although I do not get a lockup.
In my case I'm using
arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq-tqma8mq-mba8mx.dts and probing of
38320000.blk-ctrl fails as the power-domain is not (yet) registed.

Ok, took a look.

The problem is that there are two drivers for the same device and they
both initialize this device.

    gpc: gpc@303a0000 {
    
        compatible = "fsl,imx8mq-gpc";
    
    }

$ git grep -l "fsl,imx7d-gpc" -- drivers/
drivers/irqchip/irq-imx-gpcv2.c
drivers/soc/imx/gpcv2.c

IMHO, this is a bad/broken design.

So what's happening is that fw_devlink will block the probe of
38320000.blk-ctrl until 303a0000.gpc is initialized. And it stops
blocking the probe of 38320000.blk-ctrl as soon as the first driver
initializes the device. In this case, it's the irqchip driver.

I'd recommend combining these drivers into one. Something like the
patch I'm attaching (sorry for the attachment, copy-paste is mangling
the tabs). Can you give it a shot please?

I tried this patch and it delayed the driver initialization (those of UART
as
well BTW). Unfortunately the driver fails the same way:

Thanks for testing the patch!

More than that it even introduced some more errors:

[    0.008160] irq: no irq domain found for gpc@303a0000 !

So the idea behind my change was that as long as the irqchip isn't the
root of the irqdomain (might be using the terms incorrectly) like the
gic, you can make it a platform driver. And I was trying to hack up a
patch that's the equivalent of platform_irqchip_probe() (which just
ends up eventually calling the callback you use in IRQCHIP_DECLARE().
I probably made some mistake in the quick hack that I'm sure if
fixable.

[    0.013251] Failed to map interrupt for
/soc@0/bus@30400000/timer@306a0000

However, this timer driver also uses TIMER_OF_DECLARE() which can't
handle failure to get the IRQ (because it's can't -EPROBE_DEFER). So,
this means, the timer driver inturn needs to be converted to a
platform driver if it's supposed to work with the IRQCHIP_DECLARE()
being converted to a platform driver.

But that's a can of worms not worth opening. But then I remembered
this simpler workaround will work and it is pretty much a variant of
the workaround that's already in the gpc's irqchip driver to allow two
drivers to probe the same device (people really should stop doing
that).

Can you drop my previous hack patch and try this instead please? I'm
99% sure this will work.
