just to avoid misunderstandings, did you read
drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/TESTING ?

The Raspberry Pi 4 is currently not fully supported for VCHIQ in
mainline. From my limited understanding the DMA controller driver needs
40 bit support, so VCHIQ on BCM2711 can use it. This part is currently
only available in the vendor tree. The reason why the driver is
unexpectedly probing is a historical issue in the devicetree :-(

Raspberry Pi 4 support is not considered as necessary for moving out of
staging.
