This is now commit 93d2e4322aa74c1a ("of: platform: Batch fwnode parsing
when adding all top level devices") in v5.8-rc1, and I have bisected a
regression to it: on r8a7740/armadillo and sh73a0/kzm9g, the system can
no longer be woken up from s2ram by a GPIO key. Reverting the commit
fixes the issue.

On these systems, the GPIO/PFC block has its interrupt lines connected
to intermediate interrupt controllers (Renesas INTC), which are in turn
connected to the main interrupt controller (ARM GIC).  The INTC block is
part of a power and clock domain.  Hence if a GPIO is enabled as a
wake-up source, the INTC is part of the wake-up path, and thus must be
kept enabled when entering s2ram.

While this commit has no impact on probe order for me (unlike in Marek's
case), it does have an impact on suspend order:
  - Before this commit:
      1. The keyboard (gpio-keys) is suspended, and calls
         enable_irq_wake() to inform the upstream interrupt controller
         (INTC) that it is part of the wake-up path,
      2. INTC is suspended, and calls device_set_wakeup_path() to inform
         the device core that it must be kept enabled,
      3. The system is woken by pressing a wake-up key.

  - After this commit:
      1. INTC is suspended, and is not aware it is part of the wake-up
         path, so it is disabled by the device core,
      2. gpio-keys is suspended, and calls enable_irq_wake() in vain,
      3. Pressing a wake-up key has no effect, as INTC is disabled, and
         the interrupt does not come through.

It looks like no device links are involved, as both gpio-keys and INTC have
no links.
Do you have a clue?

Thanks!
