of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for remote-endpoint
remote-endpoint property seems to always come in pairs where two devices point to each other. So, we can't really tell from DT if there is a functional probe order dependency between these two devices. However, there can be other dependencies between two devices that point to each other with remote-endpoint. This non-remote-endpoint dependency combined with one of the remote-endpoint dependency can lead to a cyclic dependency[1]. To avoid this cyclic dependency from incorrectly blocking probes, fw_devlink needs to be made aware of remote-endpoint dependencies even though remote-endpoint dependencies by themselves won't affect probe ordering (because fw_devlink will see the cyclic dependency between remote-endpoint devices and ignore the dependencies that cause the cycle). Also, if a device ever needs to know if a non-probe-blocking remote-endpoint has finished probing, it can now use the sync_state() to figure it out.
