Thanks for the report.

Ah crap, I think you are right. It should have been "index". Not
"!index". But I tested this! Sigh. I probably screwed up my testing.
Please send out a Fix for this.
Geert, we got excited too soon. :(

This part is confusing though. If I read your DT correctly, there's a
cycle between platform:panel-dsi-lvds and i2c:13-002c. And fw_devlink
should not be enforcing any ordering between those devices ever.
I'm surprised that in your "working" case, fw_devlink didn't detect
any cycle. It should have. If there's any debugging to do, that's the
one we need to debug.

Can you check the "status" and "sync_state_only" file in this folder
and tell me what it says?
Since these devices have a cyclic dependency between them, it should
have been something other than "not tracked" and "sync_state_only"
should be "1". But my guess is you'll see "active" and "0".

Somewhere in this area, I'm thinking you'll also see "device:
'i2c:13-002c--platform:panel-dsi-lvds': device_add" do you not? And if
you enabled device link logs, you'll see that it was "sync state only"
link.

Oh yeah, see. The "device_add" I expected earlier is getting removed here.

I think the eventual fix would be this series + adding a
"post-init-providers" property to the device that's supposed to probe
first and point it to the device that's supposed to probe next. Do
this at the device node level, not the endpoint level.
