Here is the backport along with:

easy backporting.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] base: core: Remove WARN_ON from link dependencies check
commit e16f4f3e0b7daecd48d4f944ab4147c1a6cb16a8 upstream
In some cases the link between between customer and supplier
already exist, for example when a device use its parent as a supplier.
Do not warn about already existing dependencies because device_link_add()
takes care of this case.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] driver core: Extend device_is_dependent()
commit 3d1cf435e201d1fd63e4346b141881aed086effd upstream
If the device passed as the target (second argument) to
device_is_dependent() is not completely registered (that is, it has
been initialized, but not added yet), but the parent pointer of it
is set, it may be missing from the list of the parent's children
and device_for_each_child() called by device_is_dependent() cannot
be relied on to catch that dependency.
For this reason, modify device_is_dependent() to check the ancestors
of the target device by following its parent pointer in addition to
the device_for_each_child() walk.
