[RESEND PATCH v1 2/5] driver core: Add device links support for pending links to suppliers

From: Saravana Kannan
Date: Mon Jun 03 2019 - 20:36:23 EST


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. Add a waiting_for_suppliers list to track such
consumers and add helper functions to manage the list.

Marking/unmarking a consumer device as waiting for suppliers is
generally expected to be done by the entity that's creating the
device.
