Ugh... yeah, this is why the normal (not SYNC_STATE_ONLY) device link
isn't being created.

So the aggregated view is something like (I had to set tabs = 4 space
to fit it within 80 cols):

ocp: ocp { <========================= Consumer
compatible = "simple-pm-bus";
power-domains = <&prm_per>; <=========== Supplier ref

l4_wkup: interconnect@44c00000 {
compatible = "ti,am33xx-l4-wkup", "simple-pm-bus";

segment@200000 { /* 0x44e00000 */
compatible = "simple-pm-bus";

target-module@0 { /* 0x44e00000, ap 8 58.0 */
compatible = "ti,sysc-omap4", "ti,sysc";

prcm: prcm@0 {
compatible = "ti,am3-prcm", "simple-bus";

prm_per: prm@c00 { <========= Actual Supplier
compatible = "ti,am3-prm-inst", "ti,omap-prm-inst";
};
};
};
};
};
};

The power-domain supplier is the great-great-great-grand-child of the
consumer. It's not clear to me how this is valid. What does it even
mean?

Rob, is this considered a valid DT?

Geert, thoughts on whether this is a correct use of simple-pm-bus device?

Also, how is the power domain attach/get working in this case? As far
as I can tell, at least for "simple-pm-bus" devices, the pm domain
attachment is happening under:
really_probe() -> call_driver_probe -> platform_probe() ->
dev_pm_domain_attach()

So, how is the pm domain attach succeeding in the first place without
my changes?

Yeah, the "1c0" flags are SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links and aren't
relevant to the issue we are seeing. Those links are being created as
a proxy for other descendant devices of ocp that haven't been added
yet, but are consumers of these *.prm devices. They are mainly meant
for correctness of sync_state() callbacks of the supplier and don't
affect probe order. For example: target-module@56000000 is a consumer
of prm_gfx 44e01100.prm.
