Do you mind sharing the full log please? It's hard to tell you
anything useful with bits and pieces of logs.

fw_devlink doesn't track "regulator-coupled-with". So that's probably
not it. Also, this patch series was made to handle simple cycles
properly. It'll functionally disable the device links it created when
it comes to probe ordering. Only two overlapping cycles might cause
issues -- and even that, not all the time. So yeah, full log please.
