The current deferred probe implementation can mess up suspend/resume ordering if deferred probe thread is kicked off in parallel with the main initcall thread (kernel_init thread) [1]. For example: Say device-B is a consumer of device-A. Initcall thread Deferred probe thread =============== ===================== 1. device-A is added. 2. device-B is added. 3. dpm_list is now [device-A, device-B]. 4. driver-A defers probe of device-A. 5. device-A is moved to end of dpm_list 6. dpm_list is now [device-B, device-A] 7. driver-B is registereed and probes device-B. 8. dpm_list stays as [device-B, device-A]. The reverse order of dpm_list is used for suspend. So in this case device-A would incorrectly get suspended before device-B. Commit716a7a2596("driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for batching fwnode parsing") kicked off the deferred probe thread early during boot to run in parallel with the initcall thread and caused suspend/resume regressions. This patch removes the parallel run of the deferred probe thread to avoid the suspend/resume regressions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
