if they are dependent, then why not control the device creation of
dell-wmi and dell-smbios-wmi drivers in del-wmi-descriptor probe ?

The dependency is just in a function call that dell-wmi-descriptor provides
information to the other drivers.
Each of these is a driver that binds to a GUID on the WMI bus.
They can each be built/configured independently of one another and also
independently bound or unbound to a GUID on the WMI bus.
Since these are bus drivers, the WMI bus will control creation of devices
when probe routines are run.
