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.
