[PATCH v1 3/5] driver core: Allow fwnode_operations.add_links to differentiate errors

[Saravana Kannan]

When add_links() still has suppliers that it needs to link to in the
future, this patch allows it to differentiate between suppliers that are
needed for probing vs suppliers that are needed for sync_state()
correctness.
