Wouldn't this break probe for all i2c-imx users who have CONFIG_IMX_SDMA
disabled?

Also I am wondering on what kernel version and what configuration
(CONFIG_I2C_IMX=?, CONFIG_IMX_SDMA=?) you have that made you run into
this situation.

I'd have expected that with fw_devlink enabled, the I2C controller wouldn't
be probed before the DMA provider is available.

Cheers,
Ahmad
