I see

drivers/power/reset/at91-sama5d2_shdwc.c: { .compatible = "atmel,sama5d2-pmc" },

so isn't that the driver that wants to bind to the same device node
again? First at of_clk_init() time here and then second for the reset
driver?

You are right. I assumed that when Tudor was setting OF_POPULATED,
they didn't want to create a struct device and they knew it was right
for their platform.

However...
$ git grep "atmel,sama5d2-pmc"
arch/arm/boot/dts/sama5d2.dtsi: compatible =
"atmel,sama5d2-pmc", "syscon";
arch/arm/mach-at91/pm.c: { .compatible = "atmel,sama5d2-pmc",
.data = &pmc_infos[1] },
drivers/clk/at91/pmc.c: { .compatible = "atmel,sama5d2-pmc" },
drivers/clk/at91/sama5d2.c:CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER(sama5d2_pmc,
"atmel,sama5d2-pmc", sama5d2_pmc_setup);
drivers/power/reset/at91-sama5d2_shdwc.c: { .compatible =
"atmel,sama5d2-pmc" },

Geez! How many drivers are there for this one device. Clearly not all
of them are going to bind. But I'm not going to dig into this. You can
reject this patch. I expect this series [1] to take care of the issue
Tudor was trying to fix.

Tudor,

Want to give this series [1] a shot?

No, it isn't. at91_shdwc_driver binds the compatibles from at91_shdwc_of_match:

static const struct of_device_id at91_shdwc_of_match[] = {
{
.compatible = "atmel,sama5d2-shdwc",
.data = &sama5d2_reg_config,
},
{
.compatible = "microchip,sam9x60-shdwc",
.data = &sam9x60_reg_config,
}, {
/*sentinel*/
}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, at91_shdwc_of_match);


The pmc compatibles are later on used in the probe function in order to
get with of_iomap() the pmc_base, that is later used in at91_poweroff()
method.

Just for the reference, this patch is superseded by the following:

No, there's a single driver that binds to that compatible.

From this entire list only the drivers/clk/at91/sama5d2.c driver binds to the
"atmel,sama5d2-pmc" compatible, the rest are just using the compatible to
map the PMC memory.

The series at [1] doesn't apply clean neither on next-20210209, nor on
driver-core-next. On top of which sha1 should I apply them?

Anyway, I think the patch at [2] is still needed, regardless of the outcome
of [1].

It's on top of driver-core-next:

fw_devlink=on by default

Right, [2] is still a good clean up based on your comment above.

I see Greg took your series. I tried the driver-core-next (with your series
included), it doesn't solve my boot problem on sama5d2_xplained.

With [2] applied, sama5d2_xplained can boot again.
