There are only four valid fwnode cases which are
- primary --&gt; secondary --&gt; -ENODEV
- primary --&gt; NULL
- secondary --&gt; -ENODEV
- NULL

dev-&gt;fwnode should be converted between the 4 cases above no matter
how/when set_primary_fwnode() and set_secondary_fwnode() are called.
Describe it in the code so people will keep it in mind.

While commit d5dcce0c414f ("device property: Keep secondary firmware
node secondary by type") describes everything correct in its commit
message, the change it made does the opposite and original commit
c15e1bdda436 ("device property: Fix the secondary firmware node handling
in set_primary_fwnode()") was fully correct.

Revert the former one here and improve documentation in the next patch.

<title>driver core: Refactor fw_devlink feature</title>

<id>f9aa460672c9c56896cdc12a521159e3e67000ba</id>
<content type='text'>
The current implementation of fw_devlink is very inefficient because it
tries to get away without creating fwnode links in the name of saving
memory usage. Past attempts to optimize runtime at the cost of memory
usage were blocked with request for data showing that the optimization
made significant improvement for real world scenarios.

We have those scenarios now. There have been several reports of boot
time increase in the order of seconds in this thread [1]. Several OEMs
and SoC manufacturers have also privately reported significant
(350-400ms) increase in boot time due to all the parsing done by
fw_devlink.

So this patch uses all the setup done by the previous patches in this
series to refactor fw_devlink to be more efficient. Most of the code has
been moved out of firmware specific (DT mostly) code into driver core.

This brings the following benefits:
- Instead of parsing the device tree multiple times during bootup,
  fw_devlink parses each fwnode node/property only once and creates
  fwnode links. The rest of the fw_devlink code then just looks at these
  fwnode links to do rest of the work.

- Makes it much easier to debug probe issue due to fw_devlink in the
  future. fw_devlink=on blocks the probing of devices if they depend on
  a device that hasn't been added yet. With this refactor, it'll be very
  easy to tell what that device is because we now have a reference to
  the fwnode of the device.

- Much easier to add fw_devlink support to ACPI and other firmware
  types. A refactor to move the common bits from DT specific code to
  driver core was in my TODO list as a prerequisite to adding ACPI
  support to fw_devlink. This series gets that done.

<title>driver core: Use device's fwnode to check if it is waiting for suppliers</title>

<content type='text'>
To check if a device is still waiting for its supplier devices to be
added, we used to check if the devices is in a global
waiting_for_suppliers list. Since the global list will be deleted in
subsequent patches, this patch stops using this check.

Instead, this patch uses a more device specific check. It checks if the
device's fwnode has any fwnode links that haven't been converted to
device links yet.

This function is a wrapper around fwnode_operations.add_links().

This function parses each node in a fwnode tree and create fwnode links
for each of those nodes. The information for creating the fwnode links
(the supplier and consumer fwnode) is obtained by parsing the properties
in each of the fwnodes.

This function also ensures that no fwnode is parsed more than once by
marking the fwnodes as parsed.

SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links only affect the behavior of sync_state()
callbacks. Specifically, they prevent sync_state() only callbacks from
being called on a device if one or more of its consumers haven't probed.

So, creating a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link from an already probed
consumer is useless. So, don't allow creating such device links.

This reverts commit 716a7a25969003d82ab738179c3f1068a120ed11.

The fw_devlink_pause/resume() APIs added by the commit being reverted
were a first cut attempt at optimizing boot time. But these APIs don't
fully solve the problem and are very fragile (can only be used for the
top level devices being added). This series replaces them with a much
better optimization that works for all device additions and also has the
benefit of reducing the complexity of the firmware (DT, EFI) specific
code and abstracting out common code to driver core.
