nit: not worth spinning just for this, but if you happen to spin you
could print the error number in your message.

As discussed in v5 I wonder if the complexity of a separate driver is
really worth it or if everything would be a lot easier to just link
the two ".c" files together. Now that it's a full error case if
"aoss_qmp_pd" doesn't probe I'd vote for linking the two ".c" files
together, but part of that is because I don't really want to dig into
all the details of how you're supposed to call
platform_device_register_data() for sub-devices and double-checking
that you've got all the corner cases correct.
...NOTE: presumably if you just change it to a straight-up function
call then you can also get rid of the above "dev_err" since
(presumably) you'll know that the init code of aoss_qmp_pd will print
any relevant errors?
