Thanks for testing. What was happening was that there was a cycle of
2-3 devices. A -(depends on)-> B -> C -> A.

And fw_devlink only understood A -> B since the rest were the gpio
bindings I added above. Without fw_devlink seeing the cycle, it can't
do cycle workarounds. So C's driver was deferring probe waiting on A
and none of them probed.

Once I added these and made the cycle visible to fw_devlink, it
handled it fine (basically between A, B and C, the device links don't
affect probe order anymore).
