Hi Saravana,

Sorry for the late reply,
On behalf of Amelie, I did some testing on STM32MP15 DK2 board, on top
of commit fb42378dcc7f, and also with your series applied.
For reference, it's based on: arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp15xx-dkx.dtsi

I noticed some error messages on this board, since the 12 patch series,
around the I2C PMIC device links:

Strangely some of the regulators seems to have "Fixed dependency", but
not all.

Regarding the typec stusb160x I noticed the message below. It seems
correct, right ?

[   15.962771] typec port0: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with
/soc/usb-otg@49000000/port/endpoint

But sometimes (lets say 1/5 times) during boot, when I have a cable
already plugged in, it looks like there's some race condition. The dwc2
driver reports some error logs in a loop, indefinitely, up to the
watchdog resets the platform :-(.

[   16.288458] dwc2 49000000.usb-otg: Mode Mismatch Interrupt: currently
in Host mode
[   16.288490] dwc2 49000000.usb-otg: Mode Mismatch Interrupt: currently
in Host mode
[   16.310429] dwc2 49000000.usb-otg: Mode Mismatch Interrupt: currently
in Host mode

It probably just points some already existing race condition here. Maybe
it isn't even linked to this patch. But I have no evidence at this
stage. I hope I can investigate further on this one, hopefully I can
free up some time for that.

Best Regards,
Fabrice
