I am not very sure how the device_link_add() API works. we are the parent and
creating a depdency on child probe. That does not sound correct to me. Any
ways, I have another question.

When dwc3_qcom_of_register_core() returns error back to dwc3_qcom_probe(), we
goto depopulate label which calls of_platform_depopulate() which destroy the
child devices that are populated. how does that ensure that child probe is
completed by the time, our probe is called again. The child device it self is
gone. Is this working because when our probe is called next time, the child
probe depenencies are resolved?

Thanks,
