[PATCH v11 2/6] driver core: Add support for linking devices during device addition

From: Saravana Kannan
Date: Wed Sep 04 2019 - 17:11:41 EST


The firmware corresponding to a device (dev.fwnode) might be able to
provide functional dependency information between a device and its
supplier and consumer devices. Tracking this functional dependency
allows optimizing device probe order and informing a supplier when all
its consumers have probed (and thereby actively managing their
resources).

The existing device links feature allows tracking and using
supplier-consumer relationships. So, this patch adds the add_links()
fwnode callback to allow firmware to create device links for each
device as the device is added.

However, when consumer devices are added, they might not have a supplier
device to link to despite needing mandatory resources/functionality from
one or more suppliers. A waiting_for_suppliers list is created to track
such consumers and retry linking them when new devices get added.
