Yes, I have verified this on imx8ulp, I print the port.line value for each uart port.
When I remove the lpuart7 alias, the lpuart7 will get the id 0, same as lpuart4, which caused the lpuart7 probe fail.
ida_simple_get() cannot figure out which id has been used in the uart driver.
[ 0.894549] port.line = 0 --> lpuart4
[ 0.908148] port.line = 1 --> lpuart5
[ 0.939844] port.line = 2 --> lpuart6
[ 0.953608] port.line = 0 --> lpuart7
