Probe deferred devices (even platform devices) not showing up in that
list is not unusual. That's because devices end up on that list only
after a driver for them is matched and then it fails.

No, what's happening is that (and this is something I just learned)
that if a parent has an "#interrupt-cells" property, it becomes your
interrupt parent. In this case, the motherboard-bus (still a platform
device) is the parent, but it never probes (because it's simple-bus
and "arm,vexpress,v2p-p1"). But it becomes the interrupt parent. And
this mmci device is marked as a consumer of this bus (while still a
grand-child). Yeah, I'm working on patches (multiple rewrites) to take
care of cases like this.
