when you have time, please give a look at
https://github.com/MrVan/linux/commit/b500c29cb7f6f32a38b1ed462e333db5a3e301e4

The upper patch was to follow Cristian's and Dan's suggestion in V2[1] to use
a flag SCMI_DEVICE_NO_FWNODE for scmi device.

I could post out the upper patch as V3 if it basically looks no design flaw.
I will drop the pinctrl patch in v3, considering we are first going
to resolve the fw_devlink issue for cpufreq/devfreq.
