Is fw_devlink well-behaved these days, so as to not break (forever defer)
the probing of the device having the pcs-handle, if no driver probed on
the referenced PCS? Because the latter is what will happen if no one
picks up Sean's patches to probe PCS devices in the usual device model
way, I think.
