Commit 52cdbdd49853 (driver core: correct device's shutdown order)
introduced a regression by breaking device shutdown on some systems.

Namely, the devices_kset_move_last() call in really_probe() added by
that commit is a mistake as it may cause parents to follow children
in the devices_kset list which then causes shutdown to fail.  For
example, if a device has children before really_probe() is called
for it (which is not uncommon), that call will cause it to be
reordered after the children in the devices_kset list and the
ordering of that list will not reflect the correct device shutdown
order any more.

Also it causes the devices_kset list to be constantly reordered
until all drivers have been probed which is totally pointless
overhead in the majority of cases and it only covered an issue
with system shutdown, while system-wide suspend/resume potentially
had the same issue on the affected platforms (which was not covered).

Moreover, the shutdown issue originally addressed by the change in
really_probe() made by commit 52cdbdd49853 is not present in 4.18-rc
any more, since dra7 started to use the sdhci-omap driver which
doesn't disable any regulators during shutdown, so the really_probe()
part of commit 52cdbdd49853 can be safely reverted.  [The original
issue was related to the omap_hsmmc driver used by dra7 previously.]

For the above reasons, revert the really_probe() modifications made
by commit 52cdbdd49853.

The other code changes made by commit 52cdbdd49853 are useful and
they need not be reverted.

<title>driver core: allow stopping deferred probe after init</title>

<content type='text'>
Deferred probe will currently wait forever on dependent devices to probe,
but sometimes a driver will never exist. It's also not always critical for
a driver to exist. Platforms can rely on default configuration from the
bootloader or reset defaults for things such as pinctrl and power domains.
This is often the case with initial platform support until various drivers
get enabled. There's at least 2 scenarios where deferred probe can render
a platform broken. Both involve using a DT which has more devices and
dependencies than the kernel supports. The 1st case is a driver may be
disabled in the kernel config. The 2nd case is the kernel version may
simply not have the dependent driver. This can happen if using a newer DT
(provided by firmware perhaps) with a stable kernel version. Deferred
probe issues can be difficult to debug especially if the console has
dependencies or userspace fails to boot to a shell.

There are also cases like IOMMUs where only built-in drivers are
supported, so deferring probe after initcalls is not needed. The IOMMU
subsystem implemented its own mechanism to handle this using OF_DECLARE
linker sections.

This commit adds makes ending deferred probe conditional on initcalls
being completed or a debug timeout. Subsystems or drivers may opt-in by
calling driver_deferred_probe_check_init_done() instead of
unconditionally returning -EPROBE_DEFER. They may use additional
information from DT or kernel's config to decide whether to continue to
defer probe or not.

The timeout mechanism is intended for debug purposes and WARNs loudly.
The remaining deferred probe pending list will also be dumped after the
timeout. Not that this timeout won't work for the console which needs
to be enabled before userspace starts. However, if the console's
dependencies are resolved, then the kernel log will be printed (as
opposed to no output).

<title>driver core: add a debugfs entry to show deferred devices</title>

With Device Trees (DT), the dependencies of the devices are defined in the
DT, then the drivers parse that information to lookup the needed resources
that have as dependencies.

Since drivers and devices are registered in a non-deterministic way, it is
possible that a device that is a dependency has not been registered yet by
the time that is looked up.

In this case the driver that requires this dependency cannot probe and has
to defer it. So the driver core adds it to a list of deferred devices that
is iterated again every time that a new driver is probed successfully.

For debugging purposes it may be useful to know what are the devices whose
probe function was deferred. Add a debugfs entry showing that information.

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred
  48070000.i2c:twl@48:bci
  musb-hdrc.0.auto
  omapdrm.0

This information could be obtained partially by enabling debugging, but it
means that the kernel log has to be parsed and the probe deferral balanced
with the successes. This can be error probe and has to be done in a ad-hoc
manner by everyone who needs to debug these kind of issues.

Since the information is already known by the kernel, just show it to make
it easier to debug.

<content type='text'>
Add initcall_debug logs for each driver device probe call, for example:

   probe of a3800000.ramoops returned 1 after 3007 usecs

This replaces the previous code added to report times for deferred
probes.  It also reports OF platform bus device creates that were
formerly lumped together in a single entry for function
of_platform_default_populate_init, as well as helping to annotate other
initcalls that involve device probing.

Remove restriction on printing probe times only during initcalls, since
initcall_debug now continues to show driver timing info past the boot
phase.

SoC have internal I/O buses that can't be proved for devices. The
devices on the buses can be accessed directly without additinal
configuration required. This type of bus is represented as
"simple-bus". In some platforms, we name "soc" with "simple-bus"
attribute and many devices are hooked under it described in DT
(device tree).

In commit bf74ad5bc417 ("Hold the device's parent's lock during
probe and remove") to solve USB subsystem lock sequence since
USB device's characteristic. Thus "soc" needs to be locked
whenever a device and driver's probing happen under "soc" bus.
During this period, an async driver tries to probe a device which
is under the "soc" bus would be blocked until previous driver
finish the probing and release "soc" lock. And the next probing
under the "soc" bus need to wait for async finish. Because of
that, driver's async probe for init time improvement will be
shadowed.

Since many devices don't have USB devices' characteristic, they
actually don't need parent's lock. Thus, we introduce a lock flag
in bus_type struct and driver core would lock the parent lock base
on the flag. For USB, we set this flag in usb_bus_type to keep
original lock behavior in driver core.

Async probe could have more benefit after this patch.

In the driver core, before it invokes really_probe() it runtime resumes the
suppliers for the device via calling pm_runtime_get_suppliers(), which also
increases the runtime PM usage count for each of the available supplier.

This makes sense, as to be able to allow the consumer device to be probed
by its driver. However, if the driver decides to add a new supplier link
during -&gt;probe(), hence updating the list of suppliers, the following call
to pm_runtime_put_suppliers(), invoked after really_probe() in the driver
core, we get into trouble.

More precisely, pm_runtime_put() gets called also for the new supplier(s),
which is wrong as the driver core, didn't trigger pm_runtime_get_sync() to
be called for it in the first place. In other words, the new supplier may
be runtime suspended even in cases when it shouldn't.

Fix this behaviour, by runtime resume suppliers according to the same
conditions as managed by the runtime PM core, when runtime resume callbacks
are being invoked.

Additionally, don't try to runtime suspend any of the suppliers after
really_probe(), but instead rely on that to happen via the consumer device,
when it becomes runtime suspended.
