Why?

What is the dependency chain there, and why doesn't it probe?

You've put a link to the documentation that explains what the problem is
in your mail.

Then some are broken. How is that an argument?

Exynos uses the component framework. So that point doesn't apply to it.

And you forgot the fourth point:

Which is what the whole discussion is about.
