hi Sravana,

I picked the 12 commits leading up to commit fb42378dcc7f ("mtd:
mtdpart: Don't create platform device that'll never probe") (
https://source.puri.sm/martin.kepplinger/linux-next/-/commits/test_fw_devlink
) and included the tipd patch below to test it.

With that, I get the following errors:

[    0.237931] imx-uart 30890000.serial: Failed to create device link
with regulator-gnss
[    0.334054] nwl-dsi 30a00000.mipi-dsi: Failed to create device link
with regulator-lcd-1v8
[    0.346964] nwl-dsi 30a00000.mipi-dsi: Failed to create device link
with backlight-dsi

but they are independent of this final tipd patch below. I'll test a
real linux-next tree soon, for completeness, maybe I missed something?

Anyways, on that tree, your tipd removal patch breaks type-c still for
me, imx8mq-librem5.dtsi

just to give a first reply quickly... thanks,

                             martin
