Thierry,

Can you try booting with fw_devlink=on with this series? It's queued
up for 5.12-rc1
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201218031703.3053753-1-saravanak@google.com/

It might solve your issue, but I think your patch still addresses a real issue.

IMHO, Thierry's patch is the right way to imply dependencies when
device links aren't explicitly calling out dependencies. It's not
really depending on deferred probe to imply dependency order. Rather,
it's saying that the order in which devices probe is a better way to
imply dependency than relying on the order in which devices are added.

For Thierry's case, fw_devlink=on might solve his problem, but that's
solving the problem by explicitly calling out the dependency (by
getting it from DT where the dependency is explicitly called out). For
implicit cases, we still need his patch. I wonder how

I'm okay if we revert it for now, but that doesn't solve the
overarching ordering issues though.

I happen to have an X1 Carbon (different gen though) lying around and
I poked at its /sys folders. None of the devices in the rmi4_smbus are
considered the grandchildren of the i2c device. I think the real
problem is rmi_register_transport_device() [1] not setting up the
parent for any of the new devices it's adding.

Hugh, can you try this patch?
