driver core: Add device link flag DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER

Add a new device link flag, DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER, to request the
driver core to probe for a consumer driver automatically after binding
a driver to the supplier device on a persistent managed device link.

As unbinding the supplier driver on a managed device link causes the
consumer driver to be detached from its device automatically, this
flag provides a complementary mechanism which is needed to address
some "composite device" use cases.

@ -94,6 +94,15 @@ Similarly, when the device link is added from supplier's ``->probe`` callback,
``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER`` causes the device link to be automatically
purged when the supplier fails to probe or later unbinds.
If neither ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER`` nor ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER``
is set, ``DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER`` can be used to request the driver core
to probe for a driver for the consumer driver on the link automatically after
a driver has been bound to the supplier device.
Note, however, that any combinations of ``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER``,
``DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER`` or ``DL_FLAG_AUTOPROBE_CONSUMER`` with
``DL_FLAG_STATELESS`` are invalid and cannot be used.
