"suppliers it needs to create device links to" is a subset of known suppliers. There's no requirement that fw needs to create links to ALL known suppliers.

"attempt to create a device link to one of the device's suppliers needed for probing it fails" to me means device_link_add() fails. But I'm trying to say that it should return an error if the struct device isn't even there yet. > > + * > > + * Return -EAGAIN if there are suppliers that need to be linked to > > + * that are not yet available but none of those suppliers are > > + * necessary for probing this device. > > "Return -EAGAIN if attempts to create device links to some of the device's > suppliers have failed, but those suppliers are not necessary for probing the > device." Same comment as before. The distinction I'm making here is that -EAGAIN is needed when the struct device itself isn't there. Btw, Greg already pulled these into driver-core-next. Let me know if you want me to send a delta patch to fix any of these comments. Thanks, Saravana

OK, so it should be something like "if the supplier device has not been registered yet".

Well, it's a Greg's call if he has taken the patches, but it also depends on you (if you agree with the comments, it would be prudent to send updates).

The > suppliers that are not listed by the firmware are not known at this > point. Ok, I'll rephrase my comment: "suppliers it needs to create device links to" is a subset of listed suppliers. There's no requirement that fw needs to create links to ALL listed suppliers. For example, I can't think of any reason for sync_state() to be necessary for an interrupt controller driver. So, fw doesn't need to create device links from consumer to interrupt supplier. So I'm being more explicit and saying "the suppliers this device needs to create device links to" instead of "the listed suppliers of this device". Long story short, I wrote the comment this way intentionally and changing it to what you suggest makes it inaccurate IMHO.

I don't mind sending updates at all. Just trying to make sure I follow the maintainers' preference in case they don't want trivial (because my current ones aren't terrible :)) comment update patches. Once we agree on all the discussion here, I can send an update patch. Thanks again for your review. -Saravana

If this has been committed the way it is, there's not so much of a difference, but I generally like variables to not be seen out of the scope in which they are used, as that allows bugs to be caught at compile time sometimes. > > > > > > > > > + fw_ret = fwnode_call_int_op(dev->fwnode, add_links, dev); > > > > > + if (fw_ret == -ENODEV) > > > > > + device_link_wait_for_mandatory_supplier(dev); > > > > > + else if (fw_ret) > > > > > + device_link_wait_for_optional_supplier(dev); > > > > > + } > > > > > > > > > > bus_probe_device(dev); > > > > > if (parent) > > > > > diff --git a/include/linux/fwnode.h b/include/linux/fwnode.h > > > > > index 25bb81f8ded8..a19134eae5a5 100644 > > > > > --- a/include/linux/fwnode.h > > > > > +++ b/include/linux/fwnode.h > > > > > @@ -96,10 +96,15 @@ struct fwnode_reference_args { > > > > > * available suppliers. > > > > > * > > > > > * Return 0 if device links have been successfully created to all > > > > > - * the suppliers of this device or if the supplier information is > > > > > - * not known.

A sync_state() may not be, but it may be a good idea to create device links to the controller device from all devices that rely on it, so as to ensure the right system suspend/resume ordering if nothing else. > So, fw doesn't need to create device links from consumer to interrupt > supplier. So I'm being more explicit and saying "the suppliers this > device needs to create device links to" instead of "the listed > suppliers of this device". This gives me the feeling of splitting hairs to be honest. :-) In fact, the FW indicates to the OS that there are some dependencies (either hard or soft) between devices and adding device links is a way to act on that information. The "device link" notion is not actually defined at the FW level. What it knows about is a "probe dependency" or an "ordering constraint" which then is represented by a device link at the OS level. > Long story short, I wrote the comment this way intentionally and > changing it to what you suggest makes it inaccurate IMHO.

Ok, I don't have a strong preference either way. My understanding is that Greg doesn't like declaring variables "in the middle".

True. Frameworks are starting to add device links when consumers make calls to "get()" the resource. But if firmware can add it ahead of time, it doesn't hurt I suppose and it'll also cover for frameworks without device links support yet. > > So, fw doesn't need to create device links from consumer to interrupt > > supplier.

When add_links() still has suppliers that it needs to link to in the future, this patch allows it to differentiate between suppliers that are needed for probing vs suppliers that are needed for sync_state() correctness.
