During testing on a TI platform, I observed new kernel warnings after 
applying this patch series:

ti_sci_pm_domains 44043000.system-controller:power-controller: 
sync_state() pending due to fd00000.gpu

These warnings occur when a device (in this case, the GPU) has no driver 
bound to it. The fw_devlink_dev_sync_state[0] in the core has a check 
before printing this warning. It checks whether the device driver has a 
sync_state handler OR the device bus has a sync_state handler in the 
dev_has_sync_state[1]. If both conditions are false, 
fw_devlink_dev_sync_state[0] performs an early return before printing 
the warning.

Before this patch series, both handlers were absent for device driver 
ti_sci_pm_domains and the device bus, so both conditions failed and no 
warnings were printed.

This patch series adds a sync_state handler for the bus, which now 
satisfies the second condition. So it doesn't do an early return and 
proceeds to print the warning.
