Hmmm.... cycle detection should work here and not enforce probe
ordering. I'd appreciate help with debugging that. Let me look at it
on Monday. Can you enabled all the debug logs in drivers/base/core.c
and tell me what cycle detection is telling about these nodes?

But the better fix would be to use the new "post-init-providers"
property. See below.

post-init-provider = <&multi>;

Right now there's a cyclic dependency between test_codec and multi and
this tells the kernel that test codec needs to probe first.

Similar additions to the other nodes blocked on multi.

Thanks,
