Linux kernel source tree
905cc9076c
The firmware corresponding to a device (dev.fwnode) might be able to
provide functional dependency information between a device and its
supplier and consumer devices. Tracking this functional dependency
allows optimizing device probe order and informing a supplier when all
its consumers have probed (and thereby actively managing their
resources).
The existing device links feature allows tracking and using
supplier-consumer relationships. So, this patch adds the add_links()
fwnode callback to allow firmware to create device links for each
device as the device is added.
However, when consumer devices are added, they might not have a supplier
device to link to despite needing mandatory resources/functionality from
one or more suppliers. A waiting_for_suppliers list is created to track
such consumers and retry linking them when new devices get added.

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.
