This patch series adds a "post-init-supplier" device tree binding that can be used to break dependency cycles in device tree and enforce a more determinstic probe/suspend/resume order. This will also improve the stability of global async probing and async suspend/resume and allow us to enable them more easily. Yet another step away from playing initcall chicken with probing and step towards fully async probing and suspend/resume. Patch 3 (the binding docunentation) provide a lot more details and examples. v1->v2: - Addressed Documentation/commit text errors pointed out by Rob - Reordered MAINTAINERS chunk as pointed out by Krzysztof Saravana Kannan (4): driver core: Adds flags param to fwnode_link_add() driver core: Add FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE to completely ignore a fwnode link dt-bindings: Add post-init-supplier property of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for "post-init-supplier" property .../bindings/post-init-supplier.yaml | 101 ++++++++++++++++++ MAINTAINERS | 13 +-- drivers/base/core.c | 14 ++- drivers/firmware/efi/sysfb_efi.c | 2 +- drivers/of/property.c | 17 ++- include/linux/fwnode.h | 5 +- 6 files changed, 138 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/post-init-supplier.yaml -- 2.43.0.687.g38aa6559b0-goog
