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.
