This patch series improves fw_devlink in the following ways: 1. It no longer cares about a fwnode having a "compatible" property. It figures this our more dynamically. The only expectation is that fwnode that are converted to devices actually get probed by a driver for the dependencies to be enforced correctly. 2. Finer grained dependency tracking. fw_devlink will now create device links from the consumer to the actual resource's device (if it has one, Eg: gpio_device) instead of the parent supplier device. This improves things like async suspend/resume ordering, potentially remove the need for frameworks to create device links, more parallelized async probing, and better sync_state() tracking. 3. Handle hardware/software quirks where a child firmware node gets populated as a device before its parent firmware node AND actually supplies a non-optional resource to the parent firmware node's device. 4. Way more robust at cycle handling (see patch for the insane cases). 5. Stops depending on OF_POPULATED to figure out some corner cases. 6. Simplifies the work that needs to be done by the firmware specific code. Sorry it took a while to roll in the fixes I gave in the v1 series thread[1] into a v2 series. Since I didn't make any additional changes on top of what I already gave in the v1 thread and Dmitry is very eager to get this series going, I'm sending it out without testing locally. I already tested these patches a few months ago as part of the v1 series. So I don't expect any major issues. I'll test them again on my end in the next few days and will report here if I actually find anything wrong. Tony, Naresh, Abel, Sudeep, Geert, I got the following reviewed by's and tested by's a few months back, but it's been 5 months since I sent out v1. So I wasn't sure if it was okay to include them in the v2 commits. Let me know if you are okay with this being included in the commits and/or if you want to test this series again.

It'd appreciate it if you can test this series and report any issues, or things it fixed and give Tested-bys. In addition, if you can also apply a revert of this series[2] and delete driver_deferred_probe_check_state() from your tree and see if you hit any issues and report them, that'd be great too! I'm pretty sure some of you will hit issues with that. I want to fix those next and then revert[2].
