Hi Saravana,

First of, sorry for going back to this.

There is a scenario where this check will not work and probably should
work. It goes like this:

A clock controller is not allowed to probe because it uses a clock from a child device of a
consumer, like so:

	dispcc: clock-controller@af00000 {
        	clocks = <&dsi0_phy 0>;
	};

	mdss: mdss@ae00000 {
		clocks = <&dispcc DISP_CC_MDSS_MDP_CLK>;

		dsi0_phy: dsi-phy@ae94400 {
        		clocks = <&dispcc DISP_CC_MDSS_AHB_CLK>,
		};
	};

This is a real scenario actually, but I stripped it down to the essentials.

So, the dsi0_phy will be "device_add'ed" (through of_platform_populate) by the mdss probe.
The mdss will probe defer waiting for the DISP_CC_MDSS_MDP_CLK, while
the dispcc will probe defer waiting for the dsi0_phy (supplier).

Basically, this 'supplier availability check' does not work when a supplier might
be populated by a consumer of the device that is currently trying to probe.
