| What:		/sys/devices/.../waiting_for_supplier
 | |
| Date:		May 2020
 | |
| Contact:	Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com>
 | |
| Description:
 | |
| 		The /sys/devices/.../waiting_for_supplier attribute is only
 | |
| 		present when fw_devlink kernel command line option is enabled
 | |
| 		and is set to something stricter than "permissive".  It is
 | |
| 		removed once a device probes successfully (because the
 | |
| 		information is no longer relevant). The number read from it (0
 | |
| 		or 1) reflects whether the device is waiting for one or more
 | |
| 		suppliers to be added and then linked to using device links
 | |
| 		before the device can probe.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		A value of 0 means the device is not waiting for any suppliers
 | |
| 		to be added before it can probe.  A value of 1 means the device
 | |
| 		is waiting for one or more suppliers to be added before it can
 | |
| 		probe.
