fw_devlink could only detect a single and simple cycle because it relied
mainly on device link cycle detection code that only checked for cycles
between devices. The expectation was that the firmware wouldn't have
complicated cycles and multiple cycles between devices. That expectation
has been proven to be wrong.

For example, fw_devlink could handle:

+-+        +-+
|A+------> |B+
+-+        +++
 ^          |
 |          |
 +----------+

But it couldn't handle even something as "simple" as:

 +---------------------+
 |                     |
 v                     |
+-+        +-+        +++
|A+------> |B+------> |C|
+-+        +++        +-+
 ^          |
 |          |
 +----------+

But firmware has even more complicated cycles like:

    +---------------------+
    |                     |
    v                     |
   +-+       +---+       +++
+--+A+------>| B +-----> |C|<--+
|  +-+       ++--+       +++   |
|   ^         | ^         |    |
|   |         | |         |    |
|   +---------+ +---------+    |
|                              |
+------------------------------+

And this is without including parent child dependencies or nodes in the
cycle that are just firmware nodes that'll never have a struct device
created for them.

The proper way to treat these devices it to not force any probe ordering
between them, while still enforce dependencies between node in the
cycles (A, B and C) and their consumers.

So this patch goes all out and just deals with all types of cycles. It
does this by:

1. Following dependencies across device links, parent-child and fwnode
   links.
2. When it find cycles, it mark the device links and fwnode links as
   such instead of just deleting them or making the indistinguishable
   from proxy SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links.

This way, when new nodes get added, we can immediately find and mark any
new cycles whether the new node is a device or firmware node.

It's very common to write two spaces after a full stop.
When joining two sentences on separate lines in vim using SHIFT-J,
vim will make sure there are two spaces.

But is this consistent with all kernel doc comments in the core.c?

I'm fine with either as long as it's consistent.

Probably there are inconsistencies...
(Aren't there everywhere?)

At least the kerneldoc source will look similar to the PDF output
(LaTeX inserts more space after a full stop automatically ;-).

Lol, you are the king of nit picks :) I don't know how you even notice
these :) I don't like the double spacing either, but as Geert pointed
out, vim inserts them when I use it to auto word-wrap comment blocks.
I'll try to address them as I find them, but I'm not going to send out
revisions of patches just for double spaces.

I'm following the rest of the function docs in this file.

Hmmm I ran it on the patch file and it didn't give me anything useful.
Running it on the whole file is just a lot of lines to dig through.

Wait, is that a style guideline to have the longer lines first?

> But why do you need sup_dev assignment?

Defensive programming I suppose. I can see this function being
refactored in the future where a goto out; is inserted before sup_dev
is assigned. And then the put_device(sup_dev) at "out" will end up
operating on some junk value and causing memory corruption.

I put it the way it is because sup_dev is used for more than just
checking for termination condition.

Probably copy-pasta from a function doc. I'll make it sup_dev.

Ack, thanks. Makes it nicer.
