[PATCH v3 00/12] fw_devlink improvements

[Saravana Kannan <saravanak@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Naresh, Tony, Abel, Geert, Dmitry, Maxim(s), Miquel, Luca, Doug, Martin,
Jean-Philippe,

Can I get your Tested-by's for this v3 series please?

Vladimir,

Ccing you because DSA's and fw_devlink have known/existing problems
(still in my TODOs to fix). But I want to make sure this series doesn't
cause additional problems for DSA.

All,

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 out more dynamically. The only expectation is that
   fwnodes 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.

The v3 series has gone through my usual testing on my end and looks good
to me.

Thanks,
Saravana

v1 -> v2:
- Fixed Patch 1 to handle a corner case discussed in [2].
- New patch 10 to handle "fsl,imx8mq-gpc" being initialized by 2 drivers.
- New patch 11 to add fw_devlink support for SCMI devices.

v2 -> v3:
- Addressed most of Andy's comments in v2
- Added Colin and Sudeep's Tested-by for the series (except the imx and
  renesas patches)
- Added Sudeep's Acked-by for the scmi patch.
- Added Geert's Reviewed-by for the renesas patch.
- Fixed gpiolib crash reported by Naresh.
- Patch 6: Fix __fwnode_links_move_consumers() to preserve fwnode link flags.
- New Patch 12 to fix nvmem-cells issue reported by Maxim(s)/Miquel.
- Deleted some stale function doc in Patch 8
