[PATCH v2 11/17] driver core: Redefine the meaning of fwnode_operations.add_links()

[Saravana Kannan]

Change the meaning of fwnode_operations.add_links() to just create
fwnode links by parsing the properties of a given fwnode.

This patch doesn't actually make any code changes. To keeps things more
digestable, the actual functional changes come in later patches in this
series.

- *		For example, say Device-C depends on suppliers Device-S1 and

- *		sync_state() callback before C is probed. This is because from
- *		the perspective of S2, C was never a consumer when its
