I have debug prints at the top of genpd_stop_dev():

    pr_info("==== %s/%s: stop\n", genpd->name, dev_name(dev));

and genpd_start_dev():

    pr_info("==== %s/%s: start\n", genpd->name, dev_name(dev));

On Koelsch (R-Car M2-W), the three SDHI devices are started twice:

    PM: ==== always-on/ee100000.sd: start
    PM: ==== always-on/ee140000.sd: start
    PM: ==== always-on/ee160000.sd: start
    PM: ==== always-on/ee100000.sd: start
    PM: ==== always-on/ee140000.sd: start
    PM: ==== always-on/ee160000.sd: start

The first time, the probe is deferred, because the regulator needed in
tmio_mmc_init_ocr() hasn't been instantiated yet. The SDHI device is
detached from the PM domain, but not stopped.
Interestingly, I see no clock imbalances afterwards.

On R-Car Gen3, R-Mobile A1, and RZ/A systems, they are started once,
as expected.

On R-Mobile APE6 and SH-Mobile AG5, one device is stopped and started
again:

    PM: ==== a3sp/ee100000.sd: start
    PM: ==== a3sp/ee120000.sd: start
    PM: ==== a3sp/ee120000.sd: stop
    PM: ==== a3sp/ee120000.sd: start

But here no probe deferral is involved.
Just Runtime PM kicking in, I guess.

Before, the issue on probe deferral didn't happen, as the device was only
started after the regulator was found.
