Well, for now, I can't pinpoint exactly one specific dts node.
My usecase is a little bit more complicated since it's only happening
in conjunction with a local change in the imx-mu-irq driver
in our local tree. Basically, the local change is forcing a suspend abort by
calling pm_system_wake if there is an irq from SCU triggered after the
suspend noirq imx-mu-irq driver callback has been called.
If we replace all the simple-bus with simple-pm-bus, everything works
fine.

Nope, it doesn't work with this patch either.

And the funny thing is, even if I add the pm_runtime_enable to your patch
like this:

diff --git a/drivers/bus/simple-pm-bus.c b/drivers/bus/simple-pm-bus.c
index 6b8d6257ed8a..a13324fd700b 100644

* a device that has a more specific driver.
*/
if (match && match->data) {
- if (of_property_match_string(np, "compatible", match->compatible) == 0)
+ if (of_property_match_string(np, "compatible", match->compatible) == 0) {
+ pm_runtime_enable(&pdev->dev);
+ of_platform_populate(np, NULL, lookup, &pdev->dev);
return 0;
- else
+ } else
return -ENODEV;
}

I get the following warning:

though it should be behaving exactly like in the case of simple-pm-bus.

Maybe I'm missing something here.

I'll keep digging.

Sorry for the late reply.
