Sure, this seems to happen at least with simple-pm-bus as the top
level interconnect with a configured power-domains property:

$ git grep -A10 "ocp {" arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dtsi | grep -B3 -A4 simple-pm-bus

This issue is no directly related fw_devlink. It is a side effect of
removing driver_deferred_probe_check_state(). We no longer return
-EPROBE_DEFER at the end of driver_deferred_probe_check_state().

On the first probe genpd_get_from_provider() will return -ENOENT in
both cases. The list is empty on the first probe and there are no
genpd providers at this point.

Earlier with driver_deferred_probe_check_state(), the initial -ENOENT
ends up getting changed to -EPROBE_DEFER at the end of
driver_deferred_probe_check_state(), we are now missing that.
