Since parent-child relationships are handled, I'd say let us try this.
If there are siblings which depend on each other, I think they should be
marked with "device_link_add" anyhow. I am afraid we will encounter some
regressions with such siblings. However, I don't think there will be a
lot and the time savings for all Linux systems may be worth the
(hopefully) little hazzle.

This in deed helps to gain confidence. I agree that the clients are
probably the most tricky ones. If that works on all Chromebooks for 3
years now, I am positive we can test this series in linux-next now.

Thanks for this work,
