Hi Saravana et al.,

FYI the patch: 6b2117ad65f1bca9ece6d4b1ee784b42701a2d86

of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for "resets" and "pwms"

Allows better tracking of dependencies between devices.

drivers/of/property.c | 4 ++++

breaks v4l2 video devices on an i.MX6 CPU. The /dev/video* nodes are not
created, and the drivers (async subdevicess) are "waiting":

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/v4l2-async/pending_async_subdevices

imx-media:
[fwnode] dev=nil, node=/soc/ipu@2400000/port@0
[fwnode] dev=nil, node=/soc/ipu@2400000/port@1
[fwnode] dev=nil, node=/soc/ipu@2800000/port@0
[fwnode] dev=nil, node=/soc/ipu@2800000/port@1
imx6-mipi-csi2:
[fwnode] dev=0-0036, node=/soc/bus@2100000/i2c@21a0000/camera@36
ipu2_csi1_mux:
ipu1_csi0_mux:
[fwnode] dev=21dc000.mipi, node=/soc/bus@2100000/mipi@21dc000

Reverting the patch (or commenting the "resets" out) fixes the problem:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/v4l2-async/pending_async_subdevices
ipu2_csi1:
ipu2_csi0:
ipu1_csi1:
ipu1_csi0:
imx-media:
imx6-mipi-csi2:
ipu2_csi1_mux:
ipu1_csi0_mux:


What now?
