deferred_probe_timeout kernel commandline parameter allows probing of
consumer devices if the supplier devices don't have any drivers.

fw_devlink=on will indefintely block probe() calls on a device if all
its suppliers haven't probed successfully. This completely skips calls
to driver_deferred_probe_check_state() since that's only called when a
.probe() function calls framework APIs. So fw_devlink=on breaks
deferred_probe_timeout.

deferred_probe_timeout in its current state also ignores a lot of
information that's now available to the kernel. It assumes all suppliers
that haven't probed when the timer expires (or when initcalls are done
on a static kernel) will never probe and fails any calls to acquire
resources from these unprobed suppliers.

However, this assumption by deferred_probe_timeout isn't true under many
conditions. For example:
- If the consumer happens to be before the supplier in the deferred
  probe list.
- If the supplier itself is waiting on its supplier to probe.

This patch fixes both these issues by relaxing device links between
devices only if the supplier doesn't have any driver that could match
with (NOT bound to) the supplier device. This way, we only fail attempts
to acquire resources from suppliers that truly don't have any driver vs
suppliers that just happen to not have probed yet.

<title>driver core: Update device link status properly for device_bind_driver()</title>

Device link status was not getting updated correctly when
device_bind_driver() is called on a device. This causes a warning[1].
Fix this by updating device links that can be updated and dropping
device links that can't be updated to a sensible state.

<title>driver core: auxiliary bus: Fix calling stage for auxiliary bus init</title>

When the auxiliary device code is built into the kernel, it can be executed
before the auxiliary bus is registered. This causes bus-&gt;p to be not
allocated and triggers a NULL pointer dereference when the auxiliary bus
device gets added with bus_add_device(). Call the auxiliary_bus_init()
under driver_init() so the bus is initialized before devices.

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.

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.

This reverts commit cec72f3efc6272420c2c2c699607f03d09b93e41.

Commit cec72f3efc62 ("driver core: Don't do deferred probe in parallel
with kernel_init thread") was fixing a commit 716a7a259690 ("driver
core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching fwnode parsing"). Since the
commit being fixed itself is going to be reverted, the fix can also be
reverted.

/sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred property contains list of deferred devices.
This list does not contain reason why the driver deferred probe, the patch
improves it.
The natural place to set the reason is dev_err_probe function introduced
recently, ie. if dev_err_probe will be called with -EPROBE_DEFER instead of
printk the message will be attached to a deferred device and printed when user
reads devices_deferred property.

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.

The amount of time spent parsing fwnodes of devices can become really
high if the devices are added in an non-ideal order. Worst case can be
O(N^2) when N devices are added. But this can be optimized to O(N) by
adding all the devices and then parsing all their fwnodes in one batch.

This commit adds fw_devlink_pause() and fw_devlink_resume() to allow
doing this.

The devtmpfs functions do not need to be in device.h as only the driver
core uses them, so move them to the private .h file for the driver core.
