+Description:
+ This file indicates if the device link will ever be
+ automatically removed by the driver core when the consumer and

+
+ This will be one of the following strings:
+
+ 'consumer unbind'
+ 'supplier unbind'
+ 'never'
+
+ 'consumer unbind' means the device link will be removed when
+ the consumer's driver is unbound from the consumer device.
+
+ 'supplier unbind' means the device link will be removed when
+ the supplier's driver is unbound from the supplier device.
+
+ 'never' means the device link will not be automatically removed
+ when as long as the supplier and consumer devices themselves
+ are still present.

+Date: May 2020
+Contact: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com>
+Description:
+ This file indicates the status of the device link. The status
+ of a device link is affected by whether the supplier and
+ consumer devices have been bound to their corresponding
+ drivers. The status of a device link also affects the binding
+ and unbinding of the supplier and consumer devices with their
+ drivers and also affects whether the software state of the
+ supplier device is synced with the hardware state of the
+ supplier device after boot up.
+ See also: sysfs-devices-state_synced.
+
+ This will be one of the following strings:
+
+ 'not tracked'
+ 'dormant'
+ 'available'
+ 'consumer probing'
+ 'active'
+ 'supplier unbinding'
+ 'unknown'
+
+ 'not tracked' means this device link does not track the status
+ and has no impact on the binding, unbinding and syncing the
+ hardware and software device state.
+
+ 'dormant' means the supplier and the consumer devices have not
+ bound to their driver.
+
+ 'available' means the supplier has bound to its driver and is
+ available to supply resources to the consumer device.
+
+ 'consumer probing' means the consumer device is currently
+ trying to bind to its driver.
+
+ 'active' means the supplier and consumer devices have both
+ bound successfully to their drivers.
+
+ 'supplier unbinding' means the supplier devices is currently in
+ the process of unbinding from its driver.
+
+ 'unknown' means the state of the device link is not any of the
+ above. If this is ever the value, there's a bug in the kernel.

+
+ This will be one of the following strings:

+
+ '0' means the device link can affect other device behaviors
+ like binding/unbinding, suspend/resume, runtime power

+Description:
+ The /sys/devices/.../state_synced attribute is only present for
+ devices whose bus types or driver provides the .sync_state()
+ callback. The number read from it (0 or 1) reflects the value
+ of the device's 'state_synced' field. A value of 0 means the
+ .sync_state() callback hasn't been called yet. A value of 1
+ means the .sync_state() callback has been called.
+
+ Generally, if a device has sync_state() support and has some of
+ the resources it provides enabled at the time the kernel starts
+ (Eg: enabled by hardware reset or bootloader or anything that
+ run before the kernel starts), then it'll keep those resources
+ enabled and in a state that's compatible with the state they
+ were in at the start of the kernel. The device will stop doing
+ this only when the sync_state() callback has been called --
+ which happens only when all its consumer devices are registered
+ and have probed successfully. Resources that were left disabled
+ at the time the kernel starts are not affected or limited in
+ any way by sync_state() callbacks.

+Date: May 2020
+Contact: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com>
+Description:
+ The /sys/devices/.../waiting_for_supplier attribute is only
+ present when fw_devlink kernel command line option is enabled
+ and is set to something stricter than "permissive". It is
+ removed once a device probes successfully (because the
+ information is no longer relevant). The number read from it (0
+ or 1) reflects whether the device is waiting for one or more
+ suppliers to be added and then linked to using device links
+ before the device can probe.
+
+ A value of 0 means the device is not waiting for any suppliers
+ to be added before it can probe. A value of 1 means the device
+ is waiting for one or more suppliers to be added before it can
+ probe.
