FWIW, as it's not obvious: this...

...is a report about a regression. One that we could still solve before
6.4 is out. One I'll likely will point Linus to, unless a fix comes into
sight.
When I noticed the reluctant replies to this patch I earlier today asked
in the thread with the report what the plan forward was:

Dough there replied:
```
Of the two proposals made (the revert vs. the reordering of the dts),
the reordering of the dts seems better. It only affects the one buggy
board (rather than preventing us to move to async probe for everyone)
and it also has a chance of actually fixing something (changing the
order that regulators probe in rpmh-regulator might legitimately work
around the problem). That being said, just like the revert the dts
reordering is still just papering over the problem and is fragile /
not guaranteed to work forever.
```
Papering over obviously is not good, but has anyone a better idea to fix
this? Or is "not fixing" for some reason an viable option here?
Ciao, Thorsten
