Wysocki" , Linus Walleij , Andrew Lunn , Vivien Didelot , Florian Fainelli , Vladimir Oltean , "David S. Miller" , Jakub Kicinski , Len Brown Cc: Saravana Kannan , Alvin Sipraga , kernel-team@android.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org If a parent device is also a supplier to a child device, fw_devlink=on (correctly) delays the probe() of the child device until the probe() of the parent finishes successfully. However, some drivers of such parent devices (where parent is also a supplier) incorrectly expect the child device to finish probing successfully as soon as they are added using device_add() and before the probe() of the parent device has completed successfully. While this might have worked before, this is not guaranteed by driver core. fw_devlink=on catches/breaks such drivers. One example of such a case is discussed in the link mentioned below. Add a flag to make fw_devlink=on not enforce these supplier-consumer relationships, so these drivers can continue working. The flag is intentionally called BROKEN_PARENT so it's clear that this flag shouldn't be used in the normal case and that there's a problem with the driver.
