When you say your device doesn't work, are you saying it never probes?
<debugfs>/devices_deferred should tell you what devices have deferred and why.

This error message doesn't block anything. So I don't think this is
the cause of your blocking issue. But I still want to understand why
this error message is showing up.

A fix for the device link error message went in on v6.3-rc3. Is that
the 6.3 version you tested this on?

Also, I tried looking into the UART driver
(drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_dw.c) but it wasn't clear how it ends up
populating the bluetooth serial device. If you can point that out,
that'd be helpful (assuming 6.3-rc3 still shows that error message).

Optional dependencies should get ignored after the default
deferred_probe_timeout runs out and the supplier driver hasn't been
loaded yet.
