driver core: fw_devlink: Don't purge child fwnode's consumer links
When a device X is bound successfully to a driver, if it has a child firmware node Y that doesn't have a struct device created by then, we delete fwnode links where the child firmware node Y is the supplier. We did this to avoid blocking the consumers of the child firmware node Y from deferring probe indefinitely. While that a step in the right direction, it's better to make the consumers of the child firmware node Y to be consumers of the device X because device X is probably implementing whatever functionality is represented by child firmware node Y. By doing this, we capture the device dependencies more accurately and ensure better probe/suspend/resume ordering.
