Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com> When adding a new device link, device_is_dependent() is used to check whether or not the prospective supplier device does not depend on the prospective consumer one to avoid adding loops to the graph of device dependencies. However, device_is_dependent() does not take the ancestors of the target device into account, so it may not detect an existing reverse dependency if, for example, the parent of the target device depends on the device passed as its first argument. For this reason, extend device_is_dependent() to also check if the device passed as its first argument is an ancestor of the target one and return 1 if that is the case. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
