Sorry I didn't find a good solution without making OCOTP node to be party of SCU
node too which we can't due to extra required properties of nvmem properties.
E.g. #addr/size-cells.
I think the key problem is OCOTP is already a child node and there's a mismatch issue
If only making secvio, which depends on OCOTP, re-use their parent SCU node.
Maybe you have a good idea. Would you mind share a bit more?
BTW, I don't understand the order problem if making secvio a children as all
child nodes are Individual function devices and supports defer probe well.
