Hi Jean,

No worries, seems some error path is going wrong but I can't see what it
is right now.

No, I didn't, but I was loading the modules manually so that didn't kick
in.

onyx only.

Yes -- this happens normally.

Because the device-tree is broken -- there are two nodes for the same
device, and only one of them can be used. Then the fabric rejects the
first instantiation from the broken node. Here's how it looks normally:
