Thanks for looping me in. More comments inline.

It took me a while to understand what's going on with the pinctrl
framework (I'm not too familiar with it) and the rockchip io-domain
driver.
The cyclic dependency seems to be something like this:
pinctrl -> pmu_io_domains -> rk809: pmic at 20 -> pinctrl (maybe through
the i2c parent device?).
However, the problem here seems to be that the probe order needs to be
something like:
1. pinctrl registers with pinctrl framework and probes successfully.
2. Defer all pinctrl consumers except rk809.
3. rk809 probes
4. IO domain device probes.
5. Allow the rest of the consumers of pinctrl to probe because the IO
domain device has probed now.
At least in the current state, fw_devlink can't solve this because we
are asking to defer consumers of pinctrl AFTER pinctrl claims it has
successfully probed.
The only way I can think of fixing this at a framework level is to:
1. Add io-domain dependency to all the pins that depend on the pmu_io_domains.
2. Convert each of the struct pin_desc to be a device (feels like an overkill).
3. Add the pin_desc device to a pin_desc bus and have a probe function
that makes the pin "available" for consumers.
3. fw_devlink can make sure pin_desc doesn't probe until the io-domain is ready.
I'll think more about this tomorrow, but this is the best I can come
up with after staring at it for a couple of hours.
