When all the top level devices are populated from DT during kernel init, the supplier devices could be added and probed before the consumer devices are added and linked to the suppliers. To avoid the sync_state() callback from being called prematurely, pause the sync_state() callbacks before populating the devices and resume them at late_initcall_sync(). Similarly, when children devices are populated from a module using of_platform_populate(), there could be supplier-consumer dependencies between the children devices that are populated. To avoid the same problem with sync_state() being called prematurely, pause and resume sync_state() callbacks across of_platform_populate().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
