Yes they are. We see this happen extremely frequently (like, almost
every time) when we reset out peripherals after a firmware change.

I saw that "try again" stuff in cdns_update_slave_status_work() but
it's not fixing the problem. Maybe because it's looking for devices
still on #0 but that isn't the problem.

The cdns_update_slave_status_work() is running in one workqueue thread,
child drivers in other threads. So for example:

1. Child driver #1 resets #1
2. PING: #1 has reverted to #0, #2 still ATTACHED
3. cdns_update_slave_status() snapshots the status. #2 is ATTACHED
4. #1 has gone so mark it UNATTACHED
5. Child driver #2 gets some CPU time and reset #2
5. PING: #2 has reset, both now on #0 but we are handling the previous
PING
6. sdw_handle_slave_status() - snapshot PING (from step 3) says #2 is
attached
7. Device on #0 so call sdw_program_device_num()
8. sdw_program_device_num() loops until no devices on #0, #1 and #2
are both reprogrammed, return from sdw_handle_slave_status()
10. PING: #1 and #2 both attached
11. cdns_update_slave_status() -> sdw_handle_slave_status()
12. #1 has changed UNATTACHED->ATTACHED, but we never got a PING with
#2 unattached so its slave->status==ATTACHED, "it hasn't changed"
(wrong!)

Now, at step 10 the Cadence IP may have accumlated both UNATTACH and
ATTACH flags, and perhaps it should be smarter about deciding what
to report if there are multiple states. HOWEVER.... that's the behaviour
of Cadence IP, other IP may be different so it's probably unwise to
assume that the IP has "remembered" the UNATTACH state before it was
reprogrammed.

If we reprogrammed it, it was definitely UNATTACHED so let's say that.

The point is to deal with unattached devices second, not first.
If we do it first we might find some more that are unattached since
the ping. Moving the unattach check second means we don't have to
do it twice.
