Saravana Kannan 8f486cab26 driver core: fw_devlink: Allow firmware to mark devices as best effort
When firmware sets the FWNODE_FLAG_BEST_EFFORT flag for a fwnode,
fw_devlink will do a best effort ordering for that device where it'll
only enforce the probe/suspend/resume ordering of that device with
suppliers that have drivers. The driver of that device can then decide
if it wants to defer probe or probe without the suppliers.

This will be useful for avoid probe delays of the console device that
were caused by commit 71066545b4 ("driver core: Set
fw_devlink.strict=1 by default").

Fixes: 71066545b4 ("driver core: Set fw_devlink.strict=1 by default")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
