Ok, I'll make it easier to read.

I had one issue when trying with a simple-bus fallback that was the
drivers were probing even though the access rights aren't correct.
Hence the removal of the simple-bus compatible in the STM32MP25 patch.

Even though a node is tagged with the OF_POPULATED flag when checking
the access rights with the firewall controller, it seems that when
simple-bus is probing, there's no check of this flag.

of_platform_populate() checks and sets the OF_POPULATED_BUS flag.
Maybe that is my error and the firewall bus populate should set
OF_POPULATED_BUS instead of OF_POPULATED. Is that correct?

Best regards,
Gatien
