The right way to solve this would be to actually implement the interconnect bits, so that consumers like the LCDIF that have specific NOC bandwidth/latency requirements could request them from the NoC driver. Proper probe deferral would come naturally with this. The static NoC configuration per domain is quite a cludge IHMO, maybe due to the decision to not open up any information about this part of the SoC. Spreading support for this hack into multiple drivers doesn't sound like a direction we want to take for upstream. At minimum we could try to define the interconnect DT bits, so that the LCDIF driver, etc. could attach to the NoC driver, giving us proper probe defer behavior, even if the actual configuration is still static.
