From: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 44e960490ddf868fc9135151c4a658936e771dc2 upstream. Commit 21c27f06587d ("driver core: Fix SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link implementation") didn't completely fix STATELESS + SYNC_STATE_ONLY handling. What looks like an optimization in that commit is actually a bug that causes an if condition to always take the else path. This prevents reordering of devices in the dpm_list when a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device link is create on top of an existing DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link.
