Nice (I assume it's due to this patch ;-), with v6.8-rc5 I see much fewer
dependency cycle messages.

E.g. on Salvator-XS:

-platform fea80000.csi2: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with
/soc/video@e6ef7000/ports/port@1/endpoint@0
-platform fea80000.csi2: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with
/soc/video@e6ef6000/ports/port@1/endpoint@0
-platform fea80000.csi2: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with
/soc/video@e6ef5000/ports/port@1/endpoint@0

-i2c 4-0070: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /hdmi-in/port/endpoint
-i2c 4-0070: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /cvbs-in/port/endpoint

FTR, the only remaining ones (on Salvator-XS) are:

    platform soc: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with
/soc/interrupt-controller@f1010000
    platform e6060000.pinctrl: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with
/soc/pinctrl@e6060000/scif_clk
