Yes, this solves the problem, but I don't think the maintainer for the
SCMI subsystem likes the solution. Earlier this week I discussed this
problem with Sudeep, Cristian and Etienne that are CCed in the
submission you linked. Changing the initcall level was one of my
suggestions which got instantly rejected. We agreed that the solution
in the patch i submitted was probably the best one, but maybe they will
change their minds.
