This is a generic problem i.e if a parent can only proceed after the child
devices are bounded (i.e probed successfully), how to ensure this behavior
from the parent's probe? Since we can't block the parent probe (async probe is
not the default behavior), we have to identify the condition that the children
are deferring probe, so that parent also can do that.

Can we add a API in drivers core to tell if a device probe is deferred or
not? This can be done by testing list_empty(&dev->p->deferred_probe) under
deferred_probe_mutex mutex. The parent can return EPROBE_DEFER based on this
API return value.

Another alternative would be explicitly checking if the child device suppliers
are ready or not before adding child device. That would require decoupling
of_platform_populate() to creating devices and adding devices.

Note that this problem is not just limited to suppliers not ready. if the
dwc3-qcom is made asynchronous probe, then its child also probed
asynchronously and there is no guarantee that child would be probed by the
time of_platform_populate() is returned.  The bus notifier might come handy
in this case. The parent can register for this notifier and waiting for
the children device's BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER/BUS_NOTIFY_DRIVER_NOT_BOUND
notifications. This would also work in our case, if we move to
of_platform_populate() outside the probe().

Would like to hear other people thoughts on this.

Pavan
