Subject: [PATCH 5.5 30/44] driver core: Reevaluate dev->links.need_for_probe as suppliers are added

From: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@...gle.com>

commit 1745d299af5b373abad08fa29bff0d31dc6aff21 upstream.

A previous patch 03324507e66c ("driver core: Allow
fwnode_operations.add_links to differentiate errors") forgot to update
all call sites to fwnode_operations.add_links. This patch fixes that.

Legend:
-> Denotes RHS is an optional/potential supplier for LHS
=> Denotes RHS is a mandatory supplier for LHS

Example:

Device A => Device X
Device A -> Device Y

Before this patch:
1. Device A is added.
2. Device A is marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers
3. Device X is added
4. Device A is left marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers

Step 4 is wrong since all mandatory suppliers of Device A have been
added.

After this patch:
1. Device A is added.
2. Device A is marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers
3. Device X is added
4. Device A is no longer considered as waiting for mandatory suppliers

This is the correct behavior.
