From: Prashant Malani <pmalani@chromium.org>

When using OF graph, the fw_devlink code will create links between the
individual port driver (cros-ec-typec here) and the parent device for
a Type-C switch (like mode-switch). Since the mode-switch will in turn
have the usb-c-connector (i.e the child of the port driver) as a
supplier, fw_devlink will not be able to resolve the cyclic dependency
correctly.

As a result, the mode-switch driver probe() never runs, so mode-switches
are never registered. Because of that, the port driver probe constantly
fails with -EPROBE_DEFER, because the Type-C connector class requires all
switch devices to be registered prior to port registration.

To break this deadlock and allow the mode-switch registration to occur,
purge all the usb-c-connector nodes' absent suppliers. This eliminates
the connector as a supplier for a switch and allows it to be probed.

Tag block mustn't have the blank line(s).

Perhaps even

I would use if (dev_of_node(dev)), but it's up to you and maintainers.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the review.

I can update this in v8, though I wonder why shorter comments are
preferred as they haven't exceeded the 80-character length
requirement.

dev_of_node looks a bit better as it checks the enabled config for us.
I'll update this in v8.
