[PATCH v1 3/4] driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching fwnode parsing

[Saravana Kannan]

The amount of time spent parsing fwnodes of devices can become really
high if the devices are added in an non-ideal order. Worst case can be
O(N^2) when N devices are added. But this can be optimized to O(N) by
adding all the devices and then parsing all their fwnodes in one batch.

This commit adds fw_devlink_pause() and fw_devlink_resume() to allow
doing this.

+/**
+ * fw_devlink_pause - Pause parsing of fwnode to create device links
+ *
+ * Calling this function defers any fwnode parsing to create device links until
+ * fw_devlink_resume() is called. Both these functions are ref counted and the
+ * caller needs to match the calls.
+ *
+ * While fw_devlink is paused:
+ * - Any device that is added won't have its fwnode parsed to create device
+ *   links.
+ * - The probe of the device will also be deferred during this period.
+ * - Any devices that were already added, but waiting for suppliers won't be
+ *   able to link to newly added devices.
+ *
+ * Once fw_devlink_resume():
+ * - All the fwnodes that was not parsed will be parsed.
+ * - All the devices that were deferred probing will be reattempted if they
+ *   aren't waiting for any more suppliers.
+ *
+ * This pair of functions, is mainly meant to optimize the parsing of fwnodes
+ * when a lot of devices that need to link to each other are added in a short
+ * interval of time. For example, adding all the top level devices in a system.
+ *
+ * For example, if N devices are added and:
+ * - All the consumers are added before their suppliers
+ * - All the suppliers of the N devices are part of the N devices
+ *
+ * Then:
+ *
+ * - With the use of fw_devlink_pause() and fw_devlink_resume(), each device
+ *   will only need one parsing of its fwnode because it is guaranteed to find
+ *   all the supplier devices already registered and ready to link to. It won't
+ *   have to do another pass later to find one or more suppliers it couldn't
+ *   find in the first parse of the fwnode. So, we'll only need O(N) fwnode
+ *   parses.
+ *
+ * - Without the use of fw_devlink_pause() and fw_devlink_resume(), we would
+ *   end up doing O(N^2) parses of fwnodes because every device that's added is
+ *   guaranteed to trigger a parse of the fwnode of every device added before
+ *   it. This O(N^2) parse is made worse by the fact that when a fwnode of a
+ *   device is parsed, all it descendant devices might need to have their
+ *   fwnodes parsed too (even if the devices themselves aren't added).
