The intent of this change IS to affect existing simple-bus nodes (but
not in the way it's affecting you). But if it's breaking stuff, we
obviously need to fix it.

I have a hunch on what's going on in your case, but can you point me
to the specific simple-bus node that's getting affected? I'm expecting
it to be a simple-bus node that gets added AFTER this driver is
registered at device_initcall (module_init gets converted to
device_initcall).

Also, can you try this hack patch to see if it helps your case?

I have some thoughts on how I could fix this, but I need to think
about a few cases.
