Ok, I see what's going on. The problem is that the "power domain"
fwnode being registered is not the node that contains the "compatible"
property and becomes a device. So this patch[1] is not helping here.
Fix is to do something like this (to avoid using OF_POPULATED flag and
breaking reset):

diff --git a/drivers/soc/renesas/rmobile-sysc.c
b/drivers/soc/renesas/rmobile-sysc.c
index 9046b8c933cb..b7e66139ef7d 100644

                        of_node_put(np);
                        break;
                }
+               fwnode_dev_initialized(&np->fwnode, true);
        }

        put_special_pds();

Can you give it a shot?

Great!
