v5 cover Add post-init-providers binding to improve suspend/resume stability

Greg,

Can you pull this in as part of your tree please?

Thanks, Saravana

This patch series adds a "post-init-providers" device tree binding that can be used to break dependency cycles in device tree and enforce a more determinstic probe/suspend/resume order. This will also improve the stability of global async probing and async suspend/resume and allow us to enable them more easily. Yet another step away from playing initcall chicken with probing and step towards fully async probing and suspend/resume.

dtschema update for post-init-providers will have a more substantial documentation of the examples and the need for this property.

v4->v5:
- As suggesed by reviewers, removed line wraps to go > 80 chars.
- Added Reviewed-by and Acked-by
- Dropped the DT schema documentation patch (will submit tha to dtschema)

v3->v4:
- Fixed MAINTAINERS file to go with the file rename.

v2->v3:
- Changes doc/code from "post-init-supplier" to "post-init-providers"
- Fixed some wording that was ambiguous for Conor.
- Fixed indentation, additionalProperies and white space issues in the yaml syntax.
- Fixed syntax errors in the example.

v1->v2:
- Addressed Documentation/commit text errors pointed out by Rob
- Reordered MAINTAINERS chunk as pointed out by Krzysztof

PATCH v5 1/3 driver core: Adds flags param to fwnode_link_add()

Allow the callers to set fwnode link flags when adding fwnode links.

PATCH v5 2/3 driver core: Add FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE to completely ignore a fwnode link

In reply to Saravana Kannan

A fwnode link between specific supplier-consumer fwnodes can be added multiple times for multiple reasons. If that dependency doesn't exist, deleting the fwnode link once doesn't guarantee that it won't get created again.

So, add FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE flag to mark a fwnode link as one that needs to be completely ignored. Since a fwnode link's flags is an OR of all the flags passed to all the fwnode_link_add() calls to create that specific fwnode link, the FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE flag is preserved and can be used to mark a fwnode link as on that need to be completely ignored until it is deleted.

PATCH v5 3/3 of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for "post-init-providers" property

In reply to Saravana Kannan

Add support for this property so that dependency cycles can be broken and fw_devlink can do better probe/suspend/resume ordering between devices in a dependency cycle.
