Subject: [PATCH 5.13 175/223] usb: typec: stusb160x: Dont block probing of consumer of "connector" nodes

From: Amelie Delaunay <amelie.delaunay@...s.st.com>

commit 6b63376722d9e1b915a2948e9b30f4ba2712e3f5 upstream.

Similar as with tcpm this patch lets fw_devlink know not to wait on the
fwnode to be populated as a struct device.

Without this patch, USB functionality can be broken on some previously
supported boards.
