The firmware corresponding to a device (dev.fwnode) might be able to provide functional dependency information between a device and its supplier and consumer devices. Tracking this functional dependency allows optimizing device probe order and informing a supplier when all its consumers have probed (and thereby actively managing their resources). The existing device links feature allows tracking and using supplier-consumer relationships. So, this patch adds the add_links() fwnode callback to allow firmware to create device links for each device as the device is added. However, when consumer devices are added, they might not have a supplier device to link to despite needing mandatory resources/functionality from one or more suppliers. A waiting_for_suppliers list is created to track such consumers and retry linking them when new devices get added.
