The driver core/bus adding dependencies by default makes sure that
suppliers don't sync the hardware state with software state before all the
consumers have their drivers loaded (if they are modules) and are probed.
However, when the bus incorrectly adds dependencies that it shouldn't have
added, the devices might never probe.
For example, if device-C is a consumer of device-S and they have phandles
to each other in DT, the following could happen:
1. Device-S get added first.
2. The bus add_links() callback will (incorrectly) try to link it as
a consumer of device-C.
3. Since device-C isn't present, device-S will be put in
"waiting-for-supplier" list.
4. Device-C gets added next.
5. All devices in "waiting-for-supplier" list are retried for linking.
6. Device-S gets linked as consumer to Device-C.
7. The bus add_links() callback will (correctly) try to link it as
a consumer of device-S.
8. This isn't allowed because it would create a cyclic device links.
So neither devices will get probed since the supplier is dependent on a
consumer that'll never probe (because it can't get resources from the
supplier).
Without this patch, things stay in this broken state. However, with this
patch, the execution will continue like this:
9. Device-C's driver is loaded.
10. Device-C's driver removes Device-S as a consumer of Device-C.
11. Device-C's driver adds Device-C as a consumer of Device-S.
12. Device-S probes.
13. Device-S sync_state() isn't called because Device-C hasn't probed yet.
14. Device-C probes.
15. Device-S's sync_state() callback is called.
