of: property: Don't retry device_link_add() upon failure
When of_link_to_phandle() was implemented initially, there was no way to
tell if device_link_add() was failing because the supplier device hasn't
been parsed yet, hasn't been added yet, the links were creating a cycle,
etc. Some of these were transient errors that'd go away at a later
point.
However, with the current set of improved checks, if device_link_add()
fails, it'll only be for permanent errors like cycles or out-of-memory
errors.
Also, with the addition of DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY flag [1] to device
links, all the valid dependency cycles due to "proxy" device links
(needed for correctness of sync_state() device callback) will never fail
device_link_add() due to cycles.
So, continuing to retry failing device links (by returning -EAGAIN) is
no longer useful. At worst, it prevents platforms from setting
fw_devlink=on (or better) because it prevents proper boot up. So, let's
not do that anymore.
