The infrastructure.rst file already includes the external
symbols from drivers/base/core.c.
Duplicating 3 functions there causes namespace collisions:
Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'driver-api/infrastructure'.
Declaration is 'device_link_state'.
Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'driver-api/infrastructure'.
Declaration is 'device_link_add'.
Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'driver-api/infrastructure'.
Declaration is 'device_link_del'.
Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'driver-api/infrastructure'.
Declaration is 'device_link_remove'.
So, drop the reference, adding just a mention to the functions
associated with device_link.

There are three files with replace macros for structs,
mapping them into Sphinx 2.x C domain references.
Well, this is broken on Sphinx 3.x. Also, for Sphinx 2.x,
the automarkup macro should be able to take care of them.
So, let's just drop those.

The firmware corresponding to a device (dev.fwnode) might be able to
provide functional dependency information between a device and its
supplier and consumer devices. Tracking this functional dependency
allows optimizing device probe order and informing a supplier when all
its consumers have probed (and thereby actively managing their
resources).
The existing device links feature allows tracking and using
supplier-consumer relationships. So, this patch adds the add_links()
fwnode callback to allow firmware to create device links for each
device as the device is added.
However, when consumer devices are added, they might not have a supplier
device to link to despite needing mandatory resources/functionality from
one or more suppliers. A waiting_for_suppliers list is created to track
such consumers and retry linking them when new devices get added.

If device_link_add() is called for a consumer/supplier pair with an
existing device link between them and the existing link's type is
not in agreement with the flags passed to that function by its
caller, NULL will be returned. That is seriously inconvenient,
because it forces the callers of device_link_add() to worry about
what others may or may not do even if that is not relevant to them
for any other reasons.
It turns out, however, that this limitation can be made go away
relatively easily.
The underlying observation is that if DL_FLAG_STATELESS has been
passed to device_link_add() in flags for the given consumer/supplier
pair at least once, calling either device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to release the link returned by it should work,
but there are no other requirements associated with that flag. In
turn, if at least one of the callers of device_link_add() for the
given consumer/supplier pair has not passed DL_FLAG_STATELESS to it
in flags, the driver core should track the status of the link and act
on it as appropriate (ie. the link should be treated as "managed").
This means that DL_FLAG_STATELESS needs to be set for managed device
links and it should be valid to call device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to drop references to them in certain
sutiations.
To allow that to happen, introduce a new (internal) device link flag
called DL_FLAG_MANAGED and make device_link_add() set it automatically
whenever DL_FLAG_STATELESS is not passed to it. Also make it take
additional references to existing device links that were previously
stateless (that is, with DL_FLAG_STATELESS set and DL_FLAG_MANAGED
unset) and will need to be managed going forward and initialize
their status (which has been DL_STATE_NONE so far).
Accordingly, when a managed device link is dropped automatically
by the driver core, make it clear DL_FLAG_MANAGED, reset the link's
status back to DL_STATE_NONE and drop the reference to it associated
with DL_FLAG_MANAGED instead of just deleting it right away (to
allow it to stay around in case it still needs to be released
explicitly by someone).
With that, since setting DL_FLAG_STATELESS doesn't mean that the
device link in question is not managed any more, replace all of the
status-tracking checks against DL_FLAG_STATELESS with analogous
checks against DL_FLAG_MANAGED and update the documentation to
reflect these changes.
While at it, make device_link_add() reject flags that it does not
recognize, including DL_FLAG_MANAGED.

While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/
would be useful:
- it's shorter :-)
- I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than
component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my
English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of
things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much
of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components.
But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ...
Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs.
v2: Review from Rafael:
- git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst
- lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes.
v3: Review from Russell:
- s/framework/helper
- clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions.
v4: Remove a few superflous "This".

If device_link_add() is called twice in a row to create a stateless
device link for the same consumer-supplier pair without an attempt
to delete the link between these calls, and the second caller passes
DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE to it in flags, calling either device_link_del()
or device_link_remove() immediately after that will leave the link's
supplier device with nonzero PM-runtime usage counter, which may
prevent the supplier from being runtime-suspended going forward
until the link is deleted by another invocation of device_link_del()
or device_link_remove() for it.
Even though this is confusing and may lead to subtle issues, trying
to avoid it in the framework also may cause problems to appear, so
document it as a known limitation.

Add a new device link flag, DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER, to request the
driver core to probe for a consumer driver automatically after binding
a driver to the supplier device on a persistent managed device link.
As unbinding the supplier driver on a managed device link causes the
consumer driver to be detached from its device automatically, this
flag provides a complementary mechanism which is needed to address
some "composite device" use cases.

Even though stateful device links are managed by the driver core in
principle, their creators are allowed and sometimes even expected
to drop references to them via device_link_del() or
device_link_remove(), but that doesn't really play well with the
"persistent" link concept.
If "persistent" managed device links are created from driver
probe callbacks, device_link_add() called to do that will take a
new reference on the link each time the callback runs and those
references will never be dropped, which kind of isn't nice.
This issues arises because of the link reference counting carried
out by device_link_add() for existing links, but that is only done to
avoid deleting device links that may still be necessary, which
shouldn't be a concern for managed (stateful) links. These device
links are managed by the driver core and whoever creates one of them
will need it at least as long as until the consumer driver is detached
from its device and deleting it may be left to the driver core just
fine.
For this reason, rework device_link_add() to apply the reference
counting to stateless links only and make device_link_del() and
device_link_remove() drop references to stateless links only too.
After this change, if called to add a stateful device link for
a consumer-supplier pair for which a stateful device link is
present already, device_link_add() will return the existing link
without incrementing its reference counter. Accordingly,
device_link_del() and device_link_remove() will WARN() and do
nothing when called to drop a reference to a stateful link. Thus,
effectively, all stateful device links will be owned by the driver
core.
In addition, clean up the handling of the link management flags,
DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER and DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER, so that
(a) they are never set at the same time and (b) if device_link_add()
is called for a consumer-supplier pair with an existing stateful link
between them, the flags of that link will be combined with the flags
passed to device_link_add() to ensure that the life time of the link
is sufficient for all of the callers of device_link_add() for the
same consumer-supplier pair.
Update the device_link_add() kerneldoc comment to reflect the
above changes.

Currently, it is not valid to add a device link from a consumer
driver ->probe callback to a supplier that is still probing too, but
generally this is a valid use case. For example, if the consumer has
just acquired a resource that can only be available if the supplier
is functional, adding a device link to that supplier right away
should be safe (and even desirable arguably), but device_link_add()
doesn't handle that case correctly and the initial state of the link
created by it is wrong then.
To address this problem, change the initial state of device links
added between a probing supplier and a probing consumer to
DL_STATE_CONSUMER_PROBE and update device_links_driver_bound() to
skip such links on the supplier side.
With this change, if the supplier probe completes first,
device_links_driver_bound() called for it will skip the link state
update and when it is called for the consumer, the link state will
be updated to "active". In turn, if the consumer probe completes
first, device_links_driver_bound() called for it will change the
state of the link to "active" and when it is called for the
supplier, the link status update will be skipped.
However, in principle the supplier or consumer probe may still fail
after the link has been added, so modify device_links_no_driver() to
change device links in the "active" or "consumer probe" state to
"dormant" on the supplier side and update __device_links_no_driver()
to change the link state to "available" only if it is "consumer
probe" or "active".
Then, if the supplier probe fails first, the leftover link to the
probing consumer will become "dormant" and device_links_no_driver()
called for the consumer (when its probe fails) will clean it up.
In turn, if the consumer probe fails first, it will either drop the
link, or change its state to "available" and, in the latter case,
when device_links_no_driver() is called for the supplier, it will
update the link state to "dormant". [If the supplier probe fails,
but the consumer probe succeeds, which should not happen as long as
the consumer driver is correct, the link still will be around, but
it will be "dormant" until the supplier is probed again.]

Add a flag to autoremove the device links on supplier driver
unbind. This obviates the need to explicitly delete the link
in the remove path.
We remove these links only when the supplier's link to its
consumers has gone to DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND state.

Now that we want to add another flag to autoremove the device link
on supplier unbind, it's fair to rename the existing flag from
DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE to DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER so that we can
add similar flag for supplier later.
And, while we are touching device.h, fix a doc build warning.

The format of the structure references in device_link.rst is
incorrect, because it doesn't cause proper references to the
struct data types to be generated (for struct dev_pm_domain in
particular).
Fix that by using the :c:type:`struct name <name>` convention
for encoding references to struct data types.
