I need to understand the issue here in a bit more detail, could you
please try to fill out some of my gaps!?

In *what way* did it break PM?

Did the driver not probe successfully the second try? If so, what happened.

I understand this as the second (or third, forth, whatever) probing
attempt actually succeeds, right!?

Is the issue you are seeing, that the device never becomes runtime
suspended due to commit 5de85b9d57ab ("PM / runtime: Re-init runtime
PM states at probe error and driver unbind")?

That's a good clue. Although, there could be several reasons to why.

Rafael has pointed out one valid potential case, but I want to be sure
that's really what happening here.

*If* the problem is that the device doesn't becomes runtime suspended,
that will anyway be prevented as long as the autosuspend_delay has
been set to a negative value. That's why I wonder whether this really
is the case here.

For omap3, I assume there's a PM domain (the so called hwmod) being
attached to the omap_hsmmc device at device registration point!?
In that path depending on a specific hwmod flag, the device will be
given the an initial *active* runtime PM status, via invoking
pm_runtime_set_active().

*If* that's the case, it affects the probing sequence, as the
pm_runtime_get_sync() won't trigger the ->runtime_resume() callbacks
to be invoked in the first probe attempt.

Moreover, according to the data I received in this regression report
so far, it seems like probing the second time has *always* been done
with the device in runtime PM active state. Could that be the reason
to why it "happens" to work?

Kind regards
