If I get this correctly, one of the providers is missing (doesn't matter
the reason), in which case, your kernel needs that driver, period. There
is no reason why you would expect the consumer to work without the
provider. Or, you could just remove the property in the devicetree node,
the property that makes the consumer wait for that provider. Anyway, you
should never end up with a consumer provider relationship in devicetree
without providing the provider driver.

NACK, timeouts are just another hack in this case, specially when we
have a pretty reliable mechanism like sync_state.
