What:		/sys/devices/.../waiting_for_supplier
 | 
						|
Date:		May 2020

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.
