[ Upstream commit5501765a02] If a parent device is also a supplier to a child device, fw_devlink=on by design 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) 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. 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.
