Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] of: dynamic: flush devlinks workqueue before
 destroying the changeset

From: Nuno Sa <nuno.sa@...log.com>

Device links will drop their supplier + consumer refcounts
asynchronously. That means that the refcount of the of_node attached to
these devices will also be dropped asynchronously and so we cannot
guarantee the DT overlay assumption that the of_node refcount must be 1 in
__of_changeset_entry_destroy().

Given the above, call the new fwnode_links_flush_queue() helper to flush
the devlink workqueue so we can be sure that all links are dropped before
doing the proper checks.
