This can be used to check if a device supports sync_state() callbacks
and therefore keeps resources left on by the bootloader enabled till all
its consumers have probed.

This can also be used to check if sync_state() has been called for a
device or whether it is still trying to keep resources enabled because
they were left enabled by the bootloader and all its consumers haven't
probed yet.

+What:          /sys/devices/.../state_synced
+Date:          May 2020
+Contact:       Saravana Kannan <sarava...@google.com>
+Description:
+               The /sys/devices/.../state_synced attribute is only present for
+               devices whose bus types or driver provides the .sync_state()
+               callback. The number read from it (0 or 1) reflects the value
+               of the device's 'state_synced' field. A value of 0 means the
+               .sync_state() callback hasn't been called yet. A value of 1
+               means the .sync_state() callback has been called.
+
+               Generally, if a device has sync_state() support and has some of
+               the resources it provides enabled at the time the kernel starts
+               (Eg: enabled by hardware reset or bootloader or anything that
+               run before the kernel starts), then it'll keep those resources
+               enabled and in a state that's compatible with the state they
+               were in at the start of the kernel. The device will stop doing
+               this only when the sync_state() callback has been called --
+               which happens only when all its consumer devices are registered
+               and have probed successfully. Resources that were left disabled
+               at the time the kernel starts are not affected or limited in
+               any way by sync_state() callbacks.
