The duplicate filename error is because pm8x41_probe() is calling of_platform_populate()
directly.

If that call is removed then there is no attempt to create a revid file in
/sys/bus/platform/devices.  If I add your pm8841@4 node to my dts file, then
the 100.revid file is properly created at

  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/soc/qcom,spmi@fc4cf000/pm8841@4/qcom,revid@100

and no attempt is made to create /sys/bus/platform/devices/100.revid

This appears to be correct to me, because I do not think revid should be created as
a platform device.

        ^^^^^^^^  typo nit - that should be pm8941@4.
                  The nit does not change what you reported though.

Remove of_platform_populate() from pm8x41_probe().  Do you know of any
other reason it can not be removed?
