Partial, asynchronous bringup of a device is fine, so if the basic
support is there, I understand that drivers come in different pace.
Although I don't understand why DTS for this piece of hardware would
come in different pace, considering you cannot test it without DTS. You
have there DTS, so it should be sent.

But even without the DTS for DECON, the problem is earlier - lack of
basic support for this device. There is nothing for this chip.

This means it cannot be tested and is trickier to verify. That's not the
usual upstreaming way we expect, especially that you did not provide
rationale for such way.
