Some questions:
- How exactly are devm allocations supposed to work concerning probe
deferrals?
Probe deferrals are just normal probe errors, any devm_ allocated stuff gets unwound.
- Does or should the platform get cleared during a probe deferral
cycle?
- If so, why does that not work?
Is something writing to static data when it should be writing to dynamically allocated data? That's what this sounds like, we shouldn't be modifying any static data and any data dynamically allocated during probe ought to be being discarded.
- Or is some special implicit probe deferral handling missing in soc-
core?
Like I say a probe deferral is just a normal error.
