Subject: [PATCH v7 2/2] bus: simple-pm-bus: Populate child nodes at probe
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 17:59:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511155902.34534-3-herve.codina@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511155902.34534-1-herve.codina@bootlin.com>

The simple-pm-bus driver handles several simple busses. When it is used
with busses other than a compatible "simple-pm-bus", it doesn't populate
its child devices during its probe.

This confuses fw_devlink and results in wrong or missing devlinks.

Once a driver is bound to a device and the probe() has been called,
device_links_driver_bound() is called.

This function performs operation based on the following assumption:
    If a child firmware node of the bound device is not added as a
    device, it will never be added.

Among operations done on fw_devlinks of those "never be added" devices,
device_links_driver_bound() changes their supplier.

With devices attached to a simple-bus compatible device, this change
leads to wrong devlinks where supplier of devices points to the device
parent (i.e. simple-bus compatible device) instead of the device itself
(i.e. simple-bus child).

When the device attached to the simple-bus is removed, because devlinks
are not correct, its consumers are not removed first.

In order to have correct devlinks created, make the simple-pm-bus driver
compliant with the devlink assumption and create its child devices
during its probe.
