Classes can implement this callback to provide a list of dependencies for a firmware node. These dependencies can be used to probe devices in order and to give proper warnings when dependencies cannot be fulfilled.
This functionality is implemented in a class callback because subsystems implement the bindings that define how dependencies are expressed in the firmware. Adds struct fwnode_dependency, to be used to represent lists of dependencies of fwnodes.
