This patch acquires the path, presumably between BAM and DDR, but I
don't see that it actually do anything with it.

So if this makes sm8250 work I presume it's because you'll get probe
deferred until the interconnect provider is in place and it will hold
buses at max speed until sync_state - and then in runtime perhaps the
crypto driver hides the fact that BAM doesn't vote for its bandwidth?

I'm sceptical about hiding behind such circumstances, but at least the
commit message should be clear on what's going on - or you need cast
some bandwidth votes when the block is expected to transfer data.

As Vladimir pointed out, the S-o-b of a patch should be read in
chronological order.

Please read the section about Developer's Certificate of Origin (link
below), it should make it clear why the specific order is important.

Please drop this empty line.

We typically want to avoid printing error messages when ret is
-EPROBE_DEFER. The best way around this is to utilize the
dev_err_probe() helper function.

Replace the two lines above with:

		ret = dev_err_probe(bdev->dev, PTR_ERR(bdev->mem_path),
				    "failed to acquire icc path\n")

> +		goto err_disable_clk;

If you move the devm_of_icc_get() right before clk_prepare_enable()
(still after devm_clk_get*()) you can simply return dev_err_probe() -
and will avoid toggling the CE clock unnecessarily on EPROBE_DEFER.
