Hi Luca,

The fw_devlink code to create device links from consumers to "phys"
suppliers is pretty well exercised. Most/all Android devices running
5.10+ kernels (including Pixel 6) use fw_devlink=on to be able to boot
properly.

So I'd be pretty confident in deleting the device_link_add/del() code
in drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-dra7xx.c. The device links should
already be there before the probe is even called.

Also, if you want to check if the device links (even the 1 phy one you
have) are being created, you can look at /sys/class/devlink to see the
list of all device links that are currently present. You can delete
the code and then use this to check too.
