Thanks for the logs!

Ok, that definitely gave me some more info.
1. It's happening only for this iommu which in some cases can create
device links before fw_devlink through the use of
BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE.
2. The issue doesn't seem to be between STATELESS and SYNC_STATE_ONLY
flags (because STATELESS flag is not set).
3. There seems to be a MANAGED link created by arm-smmu.c before/after
the SYNC_STATE_ONLY link is created.

In which case, the SYNC_STATE_ONLY link is supposed to be a NOP, but
that doesn't seem to be the case for some reason.

Can you add these debug messages and give me the logs? Hopefully
this'll be my last log request. I tried reproducing this in hardware I
have, but I couldn't reproduce it.
