That patch of mine defers probe on all devices added by the
of_platform_default_populate() call, and then once the call returns,
it immediately triggers a deferred probe.

So all these devices are being probed in parallel in the deferred
probe workqueue while the main "initcall thread" continues down to
further initcalls. It looks like some of the drivers in subsequent
initcalls are assuming that devices in the earlier initcalls always
probe and can't be deferred?

There are two options.
1. Fix these drivers.
2. Add a "flush deferred workqueue" in fw_devlink_resume()

I'd rather we fix the drivers so that they handle deferred probes
correctly. Thoughts?
