Maybe I did not make my point clear.  I would try it one more time.
Let's see this virtual example.

aips@73f00000 {
        [...]

        /* uart1 */
        imx-uart@bc000 {
                [...]
        };

        /* uart 2 */
        imx-uart@c0000 {
                [...]
        };

        /* xyz 2*/
        imx-xyz@offset {
                [...]
        };
};

spba@70000000 {
        [...]

        /* uart 3 */
        imx-uart@c000 {
                [...]
        };

        /* xyz 1 */
        imx-xyz@offset {
                [...]
        };
}

In this case, xyz2 will get probed before xyz1 while driver imx-xyz
assumes that xyz1 is always probed before xyz2, which is the exact
problem that we are trying to resolve with uart.  Though the following
way works, I'm not the fan of it?

spba@70000000 {
        [...]

        /* XYZ 1 */
        imx-xyz@offset {
                [...]
        };
}

aips@73f00000 {
        [...]

        /* UART 1 */
        imx-uart@bc000 {
                [...]
        };

        /* UART 2 */
        imx-uart@c0000 {
                [...]
        };

        /* XYZ 2*/
        imx-xyz@offset {
                [...]
        };
};

spba@70000000 {
        [...]

        /* UART 3 */
        imx-uart@c000 {
                [...]
        };
}

Sorry.  Allow me correct the point here.  eCSPI is not the example I
intended to put.  Let's see SSI below.  You do not get the correct
order anyway, either you put spba@70000000 before or after
aips@83f00000, unless you split the aips@83f00000 section into
mulitples, which again I'm not sure if we should go for.

spba@70000000 {
        [...]

        /* SSI 2 */
        imx-ssi@cc000 {
                [...]
        };
}

aips@83f00000 {
        [...]

        /* SSI 1 */
        imx-ssi@cc000 {
                [...]
        };

        /* SSI 3 */
        imx-ssi@e8000 {
                [...]
        };
};

It does not matter at all whether you take my comments or not.  The
thing matters is if we have the solution working for all the possible
cases.
