pinctrl-scmi.c and pinctrl-imx-scmi.c, both use SCMI_PROTOCOL_PINCTRL.
If both drivers are built in, and the scmi device with name "pinctrl-imx"
is created earlier, and the fwnode device points to the scmi device,
non-i.MX platforms will never have the pinctrl supplier ready.

I wonder if we can prevent creation of "pinctrl-imx" scmi device on non
i.MX platforms instead of this hack which IMO is little less hackier
(and little more cleaner as we don't create problem and then fix here)
than this change.

...or indeed this is another possibility
