For the record, this breaks my rk3399 board, (NanoPC-T4) as no mass
storage can be discovered (it lives on PCIe):

(initramfs) find /sys -name 'waiting_for_supplier'| xargs grep .| egrep 
-v ':0$'
/sys/devices/platform/ff3d0000.i2c/i2c-4/4-0022/waiting_for_supplier:1
/sys/devices/platform/f8000000.pcie/waiting_for_supplier:1
/sys/devices/platform/fe320000.mmc/waiting_for_supplier:1
/sys/devices/platform/sdio-pwrseq/waiting_for_supplier:1
/sys/devices/platform/ff3c0000.i2c/i2c-0/0-001b/waiting_for_supplier:1

Enabling the debug prints in device_links_check_suppliers(), I end up 
with
the dump below (apologies for the size).

This seems to all hang on the GPIO banks, but it is pretty unclear what
is wrong with them.

Happy to test things further.
