I was referring to all platform devices (based on a debug print added to
platform_drv_probe()). See more below.

After adding a WARN(1, ...) to gpio_keys_probe(), the backtrace shows it
is called directly from do_one_initcall(), in both the good and the bad
case.

It is not, gpio-keys is always probed very late.

Hence for testing, I moved gpio-keys initialization just before INTC, so
it is probed before INTC. Then gpio-keys is deferred, as expected, and
reprobes successfully later.
Interestingly, that fixes my wake-up issue, too?!?

Enabling all debug prints in really_probe(), comparing the output
before/after the bad commit, and filtering out all noise, I get:

So all devices are probed in the exact same order.
A: Note the addition of the message "Workqueue: events
   deferred_probe_work_func", which might give a clue?
B,C: "e6900000.interrupt-controller" and "e6900008.interrupt-controller"
     are the two devices that are suspended later in the wrong order.
     One of them is probed before A, one after, so A may be a red herring?

I'm still not much wiser, though....

BTW, r8a7740/armadillo is single CPU, while sh73a0/kzm9g is dual-CPU.
So both UP and SMP are affected.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
