It looks to me the singleton device could be used by SCMI immediately after

        /* Ensure initialized scmi_vdev is visible */
        smp_store_mb(scmi_vdev, vdev);

So we probably need to do virtio_device_ready() before that. It has an
optional rx queue but the filling is done after the above assignment,
so it's safe. And the callback looks safe is a callback is triggered
after virtio_device_ready() buy before the above assignment.
I wanted to give it a go at this series testing it on the context of
SCMI but it does not apply

- not on a v5.18:

When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".

... what I should take as base ?
It should have already been included in rc2, so there's no need to
apply patch manually.
I tested this series as included in v5.19-rc2 (WITHOUT adding a virtio_device_ready
in SCMI virtio as you mentioned above ... if I got it right) and I have NOT seen any
issue around SCMI virtio using my usual test setup (using both SCMI vqueues).

No anomalies even when using SCMI virtio in atomic/polling mode.

Adding a virtio_device_ready() at the end of the SCMI virtio probe()
works fine either, it does not make any difference in my setup.
(both using QEMU and kvmtool with this latter NOT supporting
 virtio_V1...not sure if it makes a difference but I thought was worth
 mentioning)

Thanks,
Cristian
