In case the pwrseq instance hasn't been registered yet, then there is
no way to deal with -EPROBE_DEFER properly here.

I haven't been following the discussions in-depth during all
iterations, so perhaps you have already discussed why doing it like
this.

Anyway, that means all pwrseq instances needs to be registered an
early boot level, to be safe. To me, that seems like poor design
choice.

Otherwise I think this looks okay to me.
