I can't reproduce the issue on my systems, however I'm quite sure that commit
931cf0c53e69 "firmware: arm_scpi: pre-populate dvfs info in scpi_probe" causes
the problem.
I could re-submit the series w/o this patch, the other patches then need some
re-basing.

I'd include a patch addressing the following question from Kevin because I was
asking myself the same thing too:
"Also, is this the expected result for the pre-1.0 firmware:
scpi_protocol scpi: SCP Protocol 0.0 Firmware 0.0.0 version"

In case a legacy firmware doesn't provide version information I propose to
print the following message instead:
scpi_protocol scpi: SCP Protocol legacy pre-1.0 firmware

The series could be applied to a devel branch first to give the Baylibre
Amlogic team some time for testing.

Rgds, Heiner
