OK will add.

With the proper interconnect hierarchy in the device tree there should be
no EPROBE_DEFER happening here as the interconnects are probed in the
right order with the always on interrupt with system control module first :)

But then again, adding support for EPROBE_DEFER here won't hurt either,
will take a look.
