You are welcome! Thanks for testing it.

I'm sure it's harmless when the supplier == consumer. Agreed on
filtering these out.

I looked at [3], but it's not obvious to me how this is happening for
your specific case. There are a couple of  ways I can think of:
1. A SYNC_STATE_ONLY link being created as a proxy link (I don't do as
many checks here because it can't break anything)
2. __fw_devlink_pickup_dangling_consumers() causing the consumer and
supplier to be the same.

But I want to understand which one is happening in your case. Can you
add a WARN_ON(1) after the error message and give me the list of stack
dumps that are unique?

Thanks,
Saravana
