Read your whole email and it's a strange issue. Also, going forward to
avoid confusion, only reply to questions with respect to 6.3-rc7.

Do you see this in 6.3-rc7 too?

If the deferral is related to fw_devlink, you should see the reason
for deferring in the devices_deferred file. So I don't think the issue
is related to fw_devlink.

I'm fairly sure that fw_devlink isn't causing that. Because even
without bluetooth, fw_devlink doesn't consider any suppliers listed in
child DT nodes as mandatory suppliers. That has been the case since
the beginning.

My guess is that the driver itself has some bug that's sensitive to
device probe order even though it shouldn't.

Can you add #define DEBUG 1 to the top of drivers/base/core.c and
share the boot log? I can try and help debug it.
