Currently, the tegra234_mc_icc_set() has NULL check. So, it will give 
this error.
 if (!mc->bpmp) {
         dev_err(mc->dev, "BPMP reference NULL\n");
         return -ENOENT;
 }

To fix, we can do the below change and swap the order. Please let me 
know if this sounds fine ?
 if (mc && mc->soc->icc_ops) {
         if (tegra_bpmp_mrq_is_supported(emc->bpmp, MRQ_BWMGR_INT)) {
                 mc->bwmgr_mrq_supported = true;
                 mc->bpmp = emc->bpmp;
         }

         err = tegra_emc_interconnect_init(emc);
         if (err)
                 goto put_bpmp;

 }

Thank you,
