Geert,

If you want to play around with a potential fix to test my hypothesis,
I think it's just adding this one line to driver_bound():
============
klist_add_tail(&dev->p->knode_driver, &dev->driver->p->klist_devices);
device_links_driver_bound(dev);
+device_pm_move_to_tail(dev);

device_pm_check_callbacks(dev);
============
