[PATCH v1] usb: typec: tcpm: Don't block probing of consumers of "connector" nodes

From: Saravana Kannan
Date: Wed May 05 2021 - 20:44:32 EST


fw_devlink expects DT device nodes with "compatible" property to have
struct devices created for them. Since the connector node might not be
populated as a device, mark it as such so that fw_devlink knows not to
wait on this fwnode being populated as a struct device.

Without this patch, USB functionality can be broken on some boards.

Fixes: f7514a663016 ("of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for remote-endpoint")

Greg,

Probably better to take this in driver-core in case I need more fixes
for fw_devlink on top of this. Those fixes are more likely to land in
driver-core.

Hi John,

Can you please test this and give a Tested-by?
