Thanks! Your logs and the tip above helped!

*face palm*/Sigh... (for what is happening)

In the absence of other info (like device links, parent-child
relationship, etc) the device_add() order is used as an implicit order
for suspend (in reverse) and resume.
device_add() -> device_pm_add() -> list_add_tail(..., &dpm_list)

But the deferred probe code reorders the deferred devices:
deferred_probe_work_func() -> device_pm_move_to_tail()

So, this is what is happening:
1. of_platform_default_populate() adds all the top level devices in DT order.
2. So dpm_list is: ... INTC, ..., gpio-keys
3. Only devices with drivers already registered by this time get added
to the deferred probe list (because that only happens when a driver
matches)
4. INTC is one of them.
5. So when deferred_probe_work_func() gets to INTC, it moves it to the
end of the dpm_list
6. So dpm_list is now: ..., gpio-keys, ... INTC

Things fail.

Obviously, my patch is causing this unintended behavior and I could
try to fix it. But I'm not really sure if the actual bug is in my
patch...

Deferred probe is supposed to allow a driver to defer probe without
worrying something else is going to get screwed up. Also, order of
devices in DT isn't supposed to affect functionality. Both of these
are not true with the current behavior.

I think instead of deferred_probe_work_func() moving the device to the
end of the dpm_list, I think the device probing successfully is what
should move it to the end of the dpm_list. That way, the dpm_list is
actually ordered by when the devices become functional and not the
random order in DT or random probe order which can get pretty
convoluted with multiple deferred probes. This feels right and will
make suspend/resume more robust against DT ordering -- but I'm not
sure what other wide ranging impact this has for other platforms.

Greg/Rafael, do you agree with the paragraph above? If yes, I can send
a patch out that orders dpm_list by probe success order.

Thanks,
Saravana
