[PATCH v2 2/4] driver core: Add FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE to completely ignore a fwnode link

[Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com>]

A fwnode link between specific supplier-consumer fwnodes can be added
multiple times for multiple reasons. If that dependency doesn't exist,
deleting the fwnode link once doesn't guarantee that it won't get created
again.

So, add FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE flag to mark a fwnode link as one that needs to
be completely ignored. Since a fwnode link's flags is an OR of all the
flags passed to all the fwnode_link_add() calls to create that specific
fwnode link, the FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE flag is preserved and can be used to
mark a fwnode link as on that need to be completely ignored until it is
deleted.
