    As mentioned here:

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220622062027.994614-1-peng.fan@oss.nxp.com/

    This patch has the effect that console UART devices which have "dmas"
    properties specified in the device tree get deferred for 10 to 20
    seconds. This happens on i.MX and likely on other SoCs as well. On i.MX
    the dma channel is only requested at UART startup time and not at probe
    time. dma is not used for the console. Nevertheless with this driver probe
    defers until the dma engine driver is available.

    It shouldn't go in as-is.
