Maybe the long term fix is you follow the phandle to the actual
resources, see it is present, and allow the probe? That brings you in
line with how things actually work with devices probing against
resources.

I don't know how much work that is, since there is no uniform API to
follow a phandle to a resource. I think each phandle type has its own
helper. For an interrupt phandle you need to use of_irq_get(), for a
gpio phandle maybe of_get_named_gpio_flags(), for a reset phandle
__of_reset_control_get(), etc.

Because this does not sounds too simple, maybe you can find something
simpler which is a real fix for now, good enough that it will get
merged, and then you can implement this phandle following for the long
term fix?
