While stable device order is mandatory in serial because of console command line parameters and existing userspace expectations, it is the number one barrier to providing a shared ttyS namespace for mixed uart platforms. Stable device order has a very real (and often unforeseen) maintenance burden. For example, I noticed these patches are strictly for DT. I'm assuming that's because guaranteeing stable device order for mmc in general is more difficult; eg., by performing minimal scan serially and more expensive portion of the probe async.
