Because the ordering in which drivers bind isn't guaranteed. At least on my machine (Debian), portdrv always binds before thunderbolt. I guess I could amend portdrv to return -EPROBE_DEFER on Macs if no driver is bound to the NHI. Doesn't feel pretty to me though. Ultimately this seems to be the same issue as with calling dev_pm_domain_set() for a bound device. Perhaps device_link_add() can likewise be allowed if a runtime PM ref is held for the devices and the call happens under lock_system_sleep()?
