This sync_state driver/bus callback is called once all the consumers
of a supplier have probed successfully.
This allows the supplier device's driver/bus to sync the supplier
device's state to the software state with the guarantee that all the
consumers are actively managing the resources provided by the supplier
device.
To maintain backwards compatibility and ease transition from existing
frameworks and resource cleanup schemes, late_initcall_sync is the
earliest when the sync_state callback might be called.
There is no upper bound on the time by which the sync_state callback
has to be called. This is because if a consumer device never probes,
the supplier has to maintain its resources in the state left by the
bootloader. For example, if the bootloader leaves the display
backlight at a fixed voltage and the backlight driver is never probed,
you don't want the backlight to ever be turned off after boot up.
Also, when multiple devices are added after kernel init, some
suppliers could be added before their consumer devices get added. In
these instances, the supplier devices could get their sync_state
callback called right after they probe because the consumers devices
haven't had a chance to create device links to the suppliers.
To handle this correctly, this change also provides APIs to
pause/resume sync state callbacks so that when multiple devices are
added, their sync_state callback evaluation can be postponed to happen
after all of them are added.
