[PATCH 2/6] bus: fsl-mc: do not add a device-link for the UAPI used DPMCP device

[Ioana Ciornei]

The fsl-mc bus associated to the root DPRC in a DPAA2 system exports a
device file for userspace access to the MC firmware. In case the DPRC's
local MC portal (DPMCP) is currently in use, a new DPMCP device is
allocated through the fsl_mc_portal_allocate() function.

In this case, the call to fsl_mc_portal_allocate() will fail with -EINVAL
when trying to add a device link between the root DPRC (consumer) and
the newly allocated DPMCP device (supplier). This is because the DPMCP
is a dependent of the DPRC device (the bus).

Fix this by not adding a device link in case the DPMCP is allocated for
the root DPRC's usage.
