Can you print the supplier and consumer device when this warning is
happening and let me know? That'd help too. I'm guessing the phy is
the consumer.

So the warning itself isn't a problem -- it's not breaking anything or
leaking memory or anything like that. But the device link is jumping
states in an incorrect manner. With enough context of this code (why
the device_bind_driver() is being called directly instead of going
through the normal probe path), it should be easy to fix (I'll just
need to fix up the device link state).

Yeah, after I sent the email, I figured out why you were starting to
see it only now. It's because with fw_devlink=on it'll create device
links that'll track the status of supplier/consumers a bit
differently.
