Top-posting because important people are missing from the to:line.
It seems you are trying to enforce topology here,
i.e. hammering down what should come first, second etc, despite the
probe order.
First the DT people need to acknowledge that this is a valid way to use
device tree aliases. I'm not so sure about that. Remember that DT
is mostly OS neutral, but we do have aliases for some use cases that
can be the same tricky in any OS.
Second I want Johan Hovolds input on this from the Linux sysfs side, as
he keeps reminding me that sysfs already has topology and should be
discovered from there (loosely paraphrased from memory). It might
be that you are fixing something that should not be fixed.
Please keep the new respondents on subsequent postings.
Yours,
Linus Walleij
