During the initial parsing of firmware by fw_devlink, fw_devlink might infer that some supplier firmware nodes would get populated as devices. But the inference is not always correct. This patch tries to logically detect and fix such mistakes as boot progresses or more devices probe. fw_devlink makes a fundamental assumption that once a device binds to a driver, it will populate (i.e: add as struct devices) all the child firmware nodes that could be populated as devices (if they aren't populated already). So, whenever a device probes, we check all its child firmware nodes. If a child firmware node has a corresponding device populated, we don't modify the child node or its descendants. However, if a child firmware node has not been populated as a device, we delete all the fwnode links where the child node or its descendants are suppliers. This ensures that no other device is blocked on a firmware node that will never be populated as a device. We also mark such fwnodes as NOT_DEVICE, so that no new fwnode links are created with these nodes as suppliers.
