When SYNC_STATE_ONLY support was added in commit 05ef983e ("driver core: Add device link support for SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag"), device_link_add() incorrectly skipped adding the new SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link to the supplier's and consumer's "device link" list. This causes multiple issues: - The device link is lost forever from driver core if the caller didn't keep track of it (caller typically isn't expected to). This is a memory leak. - The device link is also never visible to any other code path after device_link_add() returns. If we fix the "device link" list handling, that exposes a bunch of issues. 1. The device link "status" state management code rightfully doesn't handle the case where a DL_FLAG_MANAGED device link exists between a supplier and consumer, but the consumer manages to probe successfully before the supplier. The addition of DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY links break this assumption. This causes device_links_driver_bound() to throw a warning when this happens. Since DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links are mainly used for creating proxy device links for child device dependencies and aren't useful once the consumer device probes successfully, this patch just deletes DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links once its consumer device probes. This way, we avoid the warning, free up some memory and avoid complicating the device links "status" state management code. 2. Creating a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device link between two devices that already have a DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link will result in the DL_FLAG_STATELESS flag not getting set correctly. This patch also fixes this. Lastly, this patch also fixes minor whitespace issues.
