In systems where some devices don't have drivers, sync_state() will
never get called for suppliers of those devices. This is working as
intended since those consumer devices might be powered on, and cutting
resources to those consumer devices might make the system unstable.
However, not all systems will the same concern. For example, the
consumer device might have been left powered off and unused. In such
cases, sync_state() never getting called might cause an unnecessary
power regression if the bootloader had left the supplier in a powered on
state.
So give more control of sync_state() in the form of a kernel commandline
for a global timeout or a per device sysfs control to trigger
sync_state().
These patches have been tested on my end and seem to work well.
Thanks,
Saravana

When all devices that could probe have finished probing (based on
deferred_probe_timeout configuration or late_initcall() when
!CONFIG_MODULES), this parameter controls what to do with devices that
haven't yet received their sync_state() calls.
fw_devlink.sync_state=strict is the default and the driver core will
continue waiting on all consumers of a device to probe successfully
before sync_state() is called for the device. This is the default
behavior since calling sync_state() on a device when all its consumers
haven't probed could make some systems unusable/unstable. When this
option is selected, we also print the list of devices that haven't had
sync_state() called on them by the time all devices the could probe have
finished probing.
fw_devlink.sync_state=timeout will cause the driver core to give up
waiting on consumers and call sync_state() on any devices that haven't
yet received their sync_state() calls. This option is provided for
systems that won't become unusable/unstable as they might be able to
save power (depends on state of hardware before kernel starts) if all
devices get their sync_state().

If the file is written to and sync_state() hasn't been called for the
device yet, then call sync_state() for the device independent of the
state of its consumers.
This is useful for supplier devices that have one or more consumers that
don't have a driver but the consumers are in a state that don't use the
resources supplied by the supplier device.
This gives finer grained control than using the
fw_devlink.sync_state=timeout kernel commandline parameter.
