Subject: [PATCH v3] driver core: Add CONFIG_FW_DEVLINK_SYNC_STATE_TIMEOUT

Add a build time equivalent of fw_devlink.sync_state=timeout so that
board specific kernels could enable it and not have to deal with setting
or cluttering the kernel commandline.

+	  This is build time equivalent of adding kernel command line parameter
+	  "fw_devlink.sync_state=timeout". Give up waiting on consumers and
+	  call sync_state() on any devices that haven't yet received their
+	  sync_state() calls after deferred_probe_timeout has expired or by

+	  command line option on every system/board your kernel is expected to
+	  work on.
