Subject: [PATCH v1 0/9] fw_devlink improvements

This patch series improves fw_devlink in the following ways:

1. It no longer cares about a fwnode having a "compatible" property. It
   figures this our more dynamically. The only expectation is that
   fwnode that are converted to devices actually get probed by a driver
   for the dependencies to be enforced correctly.

2. Finer grained dependency tracking. fw_devlink will now create device
   links from the consumer to the actual resource's device (if it has one,
   Eg: gpio_device) instead of the parent supplier device. This improves
   things like async suspend/resume ordering, potentially remove the need
   for frameworks to create device links, more parallelized async probing,
   and better sync_state() tracking.

3. Handle hardware/software quirks where a child firmware node gets
   populated as a device before its parent firmware node AND actually
   supplies a non-optional resource to the parent firmware node's
   device.

4. Way more robust at cycle handling (see patch for the insane cases).

5. Stops depending on OF_POPULATED to figure out some corner cases.

6. Simplifies the work that needs to be done by the firmware specific
   code.

This took way too long to get done due to typo bugs I had in my rewrite or
corner cases I had to find and handle. But it's fairly well tested at this
point and I expect this to work properly.

Abel & Doug,

This should fix your cyclic dependency issues with your display. Can you
give it a shot please?

Alexander,

This should fix your issue where the power domain device not having a
compatible property. Can you give it a shot please?

Tony,

This should handle the odd case of the child being the supplier of the
parent. Can you please give this a shot? I want to make sure the cycle
detection code handles this properly and treats it like it's NOT a cycle.

Geert,

Can you test the renesas stuff I changed please? They should continue
working like before. Any other sanity test on other hardware would be
great too.

Sudeep,

I don't think there are any unfixed issues you had reported in my other
patches that this series might fix, but it'll be nice if you could give
this a sanity test.

Guenter,

I don't think this will fix the issue you reported in the amba patch, but
it's worth a shot because it improves a bunch of corner case handling. So
it might be better at handling whatever corner cases you might have in the
qemu platforms.

Thanks,
Saravana
