We explicitly landed changes to handle this condition. So we'll see if
this is what is happening.

Thanks for the report. Couple of things that can help:
1. Example DTS file (the final board file so that I can get the full DT view).
2. Point out the UART device node and the SCMI device node that you
suspect is causing the issue.
3. Boot logs with dev_dbg changed to dev_info in device_link_add() and
device_links_check_suppliers()

Thanks,
Saravana
