With the earlier patch in this series, all devices that deferred probe
due to fw_devlink_pause() will have their probes delayed till the
deferred probe thread is kicked off during late_initcall. This will also
affect all their consumers.

This delayed probing in unnecessary. So this patch just keeps track of
the devices that had their probe deferred due to fw_devlink_pause() and
attempts to probe them once during fw_devlink_resume().

<title>driver core: Rename dev_links_info.defer_sync to defer_hook</title>

The defer_sync field is used as a hook to add the device to the
deferred_sync list. Rename it so that it's more meaningful for the next
patch that'll also use this field as a hook to a deferred_fw_devlink
list.

<title>driver core: Don't do deferred probe in parallel with kernel_init thread</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cec72f3efc6272420c2c2c699607f03d09b93e41</id>
<content type='text'>
The current deferred probe implementation can mess up suspend/resume
ordering if deferred probe thread is kicked off in parallel with the
main initcall thread (kernel_init thread) [1].

For example:

Say device-B is a consumer of device-A.

Initcall thread					Deferred probe thread
===============					=====================
1. device-A is added.
2. device-B is added.
3. dpm_list is now [device-A, device-B].
4. driver-A defers probe of device-A.
						5. device-A is moved to
						   end of dpm_list
						6. dpm_list is now
						   [device-B, device-A]
7. driver-B is registereed and probes device-B.
8. dpm_list stays as [device-B, device-A].

The reverse order of dpm_list is used for suspend. So in this case
device-A would incorrectly get suspended before device-B.

Commit 716a7a259690 ("driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching
fwnode parsing") kicked off the deferred probe thread early during boot
to run in parallel with the initcall thread and caused suspend/resume
regressions.  This patch removes the parallel run of the deferred probe
thread to avoid the suspend/resume regressions.

<title>driver core: Update device link status correctly for SYNC_STATE_ONLY links</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=8c3e315d4296421cd26b3300ee0ac117f0877f20'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8c3e315d4296421cd26b3300ee0ac117f0877f20</id>
<content type='text'>
When SYNC_STATE_ONLY support was added in commit 05ef983e0d65 ("driver
core: Add device link support for SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag"),
SYNC_STATE_ONLY links were treated similar to STATELESS links in terms
of not blocking consumer probe if the supplier hasn't probed yet.

That caused a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link's status to not get updated.
Since SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link is no longer useful once the
consumer probes, commit 21c27f06587d ("driver core: Fix
SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link implementation") addresses the status
update issue by deleting the SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link instead of
complicating the status update code.

However, there are still some cases where we need to update the status
of a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link. This is because a SYNC_STATE_ONLY
device link can later get converted into a normal MANAGED device link
when a normal MANAGED device link is created between a supplier and
consumer that already have a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link between them.

If a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link's status isn't maintained correctly
till it's converted to a normal MANAGED device link, then the normal
MANAGED device link will end up with a wrong link status. This can cause
a warning stack trace[1] when the consumer device probes successfully.

This commit fixes the SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link status update issue
where it wouldn't transition correctly from DL_STATE_DORMANT or
DL_STATE_AVAILABLE to DL_STATE_CONSUMER_PROBE. It also resets the status
back to DL_STATE_DORMANT or DL_STATE_AVAILABLE if the consumer probe
fails.
