[PATCH v2 09/17] driver core: Allow only unprobed consumers for SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links

From: Saravana Kannan <hidden>
Date: 2020-11-21 02:04:00
Also in: linux-acpi, linux-efi, lkml
Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Linus Torvalds

SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links only affect the behavior of sync_state()
callbacks. Specifically, they prevent sync_state() only callbacks from
being called on a device if one or more of its consumers haven't probed.

So, creating a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link from an already probed
consumer is useless. So, don't allow creating such device links.
