Random order of the DPM list seems like a good find to investigate
further.

I'm a bit uncomfortable with calling such a low-level function from
this driver. Also we don't really want to move the device to a new
parent, but just want to ensure proper order on the dpm list. Adding a
device_link between the devices seems like the better way to do so.
