[ Upstream commit 8c3e315d4296421cd26b3300ee0ac117f0877f20 ]

When SYNC_STATE_ONLY support was added in commit 05ef983e0d65 ("driver
core: Add device link support for SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag"),
SYNC_STATE_ONLY links were treated similar to STATELESS links in terms
of not blocking consumer probe if the supplier hasn't probed yet.

That caused a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link's status to not get updated.
Since SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link is no longer useful once the
consumer probes, commit 21c27f06587d ("driver core: Fix
SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link implementation") addresses the status
update issue by deleting the SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link instead of
complicating the status update code.

However, there are still some cases where we need to update the status
of a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link. This is because a SYNC_STATE_ONLY
device link can later get converted into a normal MANAGED device link
when a normal MANAGED device link is created between a supplier and
consumer that already have a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link between them.

If a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link's status isn't maintained correctly
till it's converted to a normal MANAGED device link, then the normal
MANAGED device link will end up with a wrong link status. This can cause
a warning stack trace[1] when the consumer device probes successfully.

This commit fixes the SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link status update issue
where it wouldn't transition correctly from DL_STATE_DORMANT or
DL_STATE_AVAILABLE to DL_STATE_CONSUMER_PROBE. It also resets the status
back to DL_STATE_DORMANT or DL_STATE_AVAILABLE if the consumer probe
fails.

commit 44e960490ddf868fc9135151c4a658936e771dc2 upstream.

Commit 21c27f06587d ("driver core: Fix SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link
implementation") didn't completely fix STATELESS + SYNC_STATE_ONLY
handling.

What looks like an optimization in that commit is actually a bug that
causes an if condition to always take the else path. This prevents
reordering of devices in the dpm_list when a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device
link is create on top of an existing DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device
link.

commit 21c27f06587d2c18150d27ca2382a509ec55c482 upstream.

When SYNC_STATE_ONLY support was added in commit 05ef983e0d65 ("driver
core: Add device link support for SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag"),
device_link_add() incorrectly skipped adding the new SYNC_STATE_ONLY
device link to the supplier's and consumer's "device link" list.

This causes multiple issues:
- The device link is lost forever from driver core if the caller
  didn't keep track of it (caller typically isn't expected to). This is
  a memory leak.
- The device link is also never visible to any other code path after
  device_link_add() returns.

If we fix the "device link" list handling, that exposes a bunch of
issues.

1. The device link "status" state management code rightfully doesn't
handle the case where a DL_FLAG_MANAGED device link exists between a
supplier and consumer, but the consumer manages to probe successfully
before the supplier. The addition of DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY links break
this assumption. This causes device_links_driver_bound() to throw a
warning when this happens.

Since DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links are mainly used for creating
proxy device links for child device dependencies and aren't useful once
the consumer device probes successfully, this patch just deletes
DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links once its consumer device probes.
This way, we avoid the warning, free up some memory and avoid
complicating the device links "status" state management code.

2. Creating a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device link between two devices that
already have a DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link will result in the
DL_FLAG_STATELESS flag not getting set correctly. This patch also fixes
this.

Lastly, this patch also fixes minor whitespace issues.

A previous patch 03324507e66c ("driver core: Allow
fwnode_operations.add_links to differentiate errors") forgot to update
all call sites to fwnode_operations.add_links. This patch fixes that.

Legend:
-&gt; Denotes RHS is an optional/potential supplier for LHS
=&gt; Denotes RHS is a mandatory supplier for LHS

Example:

Device A =&gt; Device X
Device A -&gt; Device Y

Before this patch:
1. Device A is added.
2. Device A is marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers
3. Device X is added
4. Device A is left marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers

Step 4 is wrong since all mandatory suppliers of Device A have been
added.

After this patch:
1. Device A is added.
2. Device A is marked as waiting for mandatory suppliers
3. Device X is added
4. Device A is no longer considered as waiting for mandatory suppliers

This is the correct behavior.

The initial patch that added sync_state() support didn't handle the case
where a supplier has no consumers. This was because when a device is
successfully bound with a driver, only its suppliers were checked to see
if they are eligible to get a sync_state(). This is not sufficient for
devices that have no consumers but still need to do device state clean
up. So fix this.

make calls to device link APIs. So, do the sync_state() callbacks

When add_links() still has suppliers that it needs to link to in the
future, this patch allows it to differentiate between suppliers that are
needed for probing vs suppliers that are needed for sync_state()
correctness.

Before this change, if a device is waiting on suppliers, it's assumed
that all those suppliers are needed for the device to probe
successfully. This change allows marking a devices as waiting only on
optional suppliers. This allows a device to wait on suppliers (and link
to them as soon as they are available) without preventing the device
from being probed.

Parent devices might need to create "proxy" device links from themselves
to supplier devices to make sure the supplier devices don't get a
sync_state() before the child consumer devices get a chance to add
device links to the supplier devices.

However, the parent device has no real dependency on the supplier device
and probing, suspend/resume or runtime PM don't need to be affected by
the supplier device.  To capture these cases, create a SYNC_STATE_ONLY
device link flag that only affects sync_state() behavior and doesn't
affect probing, suspend/resume or runtime PM.
