[PATCH] Revert "of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for remote-endpoint"

From: Dmitry Baryshkov
Date: Mon Sep 27 2021 - 16:48:39 EST


Since the commit f7514a663016 ("of: property: fw_devlink: Add support
for remote-endpoint") Linux kernel started parsing and adding devlinks
for the remote-endpoint properties. However this brings more harm than
good.

For all the remote-endpoints in the graph two links are created. Thus
each and every remote-endpoint ends up in the cyclic graph (instead of
the original intent of catching a cycle of graph + non-graph link):

Under some conditions the device can become it's own supplier,
preventing this device to be probed at all:

$ ls -l /sys/bus/platform/devices/ae00000.mdss/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 4 15:13 consumer:platform:ae00000.mdss -> ../../../virtual/devlink/platform:ae00000.mdss--platform:ae00000.mdss

I think that until of_link can be tought to handle bi-directional links
on its own, we should not parse remote-endpoint properties. Thus the
aforementioned commit should be reverted.
