Saravana Kannan 0e7ec28830 FROMGIT: driver: core: Improve documentation for fwnode_operations.add_links()
The add_links() ops shouldn't return on the first failed device link
add. It needs to continue trying to add device links to other suppliers
that are available. The documentation didn't explain WHY this behavior
is necessary. So, update the documentation with an example that explains
why this is necessary.

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.
