platform/x86: int3472: Deal with probe ordering issues
The clk and regulator frameworks expect clk/regulator consumer-devices
to have info about the consumed clks/regulators described in the device's
fw_node.
To work around this info missing from the ACPI tables on devices where
the int3472 driver is used, the int3472 MFD-cell drivers attach info about
consumers to the clks/regulators when registering these.
This causes problems with the probe ordering wrt drivers for consumers
of these clks/regulators. Since the lookups are only registered when the
provider-driver binds, trying to get these clks/regulators before then
results in a -ENOENT error for clks and a dummy regulator for regulators.
All the sensor ACPI fw-nodes have a _DEP dependency on the INT3472 ACPI
fw-node, so to work around these probe ordering issues the ACPI core /
i2c-code does not instantiate the I2C-clients for any ACPI devices
which have a _DEP dependency on an INT3472 ACPI device until all
_DEP-s are met.
This relies on acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() getting called by the driver
for the _DEP-s when they are ready, add a acpi_dev_clear_dependencies()
call to the discrete.c probe code.
In the tps68470 case calling acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() is already done
by the acpi_gpiochip_add() call done by the driver for the GPIO MFD cell
(The GPIO cell is deliberately the last cell created to make sure the
clk + regulator cells are already instantiated when this happens).
However for proper probe ordering, the clk/regulator cells must not just
be instantiated the must be fully ready (the clks + regulators must be
registered with their subsystems).
Add MODULE_SOFTDEP dependencies for the clk and regulator drivers for
the instantiated MFD-cells so that these are loaded before us and so
that they bind immediately when the platform-devs are instantiated.
