Just to be clear, in my initial mail I referred to 6.1.21 as that's
where I started, but in my reply to you all output was quoted from
6.3-rc7. 6.3 has been released since, so all details below are based on
that.

That was under 6.3-rc7. I see it on 6.3 too:
root@chip:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred
serial0-0
Without the device-wake-gpios line in the device tree it's empty.

Ok, I just got confused with the 6.1 message about the device link and
thought that might be the rough area.

Thanks for any input you're able to provide. dmesg from 6.3 with a
failure to complete the probe:
https://the.earth.li/~noodles/chip-bluetooth/6.3-not-working
and just for completeness, without the device-wake-gpios line:
