So basically, your already upstream patch removes the devlinks for all the simple-bus nodes. By adding your hack patch, it also removes devlinks between subnodes of the simple-bus node. > > > I have some thoughts on how I could fix this, but I need to think > > > about a few cases. > > > > Hi Abel, > > > > Friendly reminder. > > > > Sorry for the late reply. > > > -Saravana
