Currently, it is not valid to add a device link from a consumer driver ->probe callback to a supplier that is still probing too, but generally this is a valid use case. For example, if the consumer has just acquired a resource that can only be available if the supplier is functional, adding a device link to that supplier right away should be safe (and even desirable arguably), but device_link_add() doesn't handle that case correctly and the initial state of the link created by it is wrong then. To address this problem, change the initial state of device links added between a probing supplier and a probing consumer to DL_STATE_CONSUMER_PROBE and update device_links_driver_bound() to skip such links on the supplier side. With this change, if the supplier probe completes first, device_links_driver_bound() called for it will skip the link state update and when it is called for the consumer, the link state will be updated to "active". In turn, if the consumer probe completes first, device_links_driver_bound() called for it will change the state of the link to "active" and when it is called for the supplier, the link status update will be skipped. However, in principle the supplier or consumer probe may still fail after the link has been added, so modify device_links_no_driver() to change device links in the "active" or "consumer probe" state to "dormant" on the supplier side and update __device_links_no_driver() to change the link state to "available" only if it is "consumer probe" or "active". Then, if the supplier probe fails first, the leftover link to the probing consumer will become "dormant" and device_links_no_driver() called for the consumer (when its probe fails) will clean it up. In turn, if the consumer probe fails first, it will either drop the link, or change its state to "available" and, in the latter case, when device_links_no_driver() is called for the supplier, it will update the link state to "dormant". [If the supplier probe fails, but the consumer probe succeeds, which should not happen as long as the consumer driver is correct, the link still will be around, but it will be "dormant" until the supplier is probed again.] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.
