I suggest to mention that this is essentially a revert of commit
048eb908a1f2 ("soc: qcom-geni-se: Add interconnect support to fix
earlycon crash"). This makes the life of reviewers easier and it's
also good to have the reference in the git history.
You could also mention commit 7d3b0b0d8184 ("interconnect: qcom:
Use icc_sync_state") in the intro.
I tried to test by first reproducing the original issue without
'sync_state' in the ICC, but wasn't successful, probably something
changed in the boot/ICC timing in the meantime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
