CoreSight devices build a path from source to sink and defer probing if 
any device in the path is unavailable so the deferred‑probe behavior is 
expected.

We could add logic to fix it in driver but it's much easier to address 
it in DT because we are knowing the device is disabled/Failed in DT.

It's my fault I didnt remove this disabled replicator device in previous 
fix.
