Hi, Matthias,
  Yong had verified your propose and it seems didn't work[1].
But I'm looking at the recently merged device link patches[2], it maybe
could help with the probe sequence issue.

If we set the iommu client as the smi larb's device consumer of
device_link with the DL_DEV_PROBING flags, it will be wait for smi
larb's probe done. But I'm not test that solution yet, need to do a bit
more test to verify this.

thanks.
