Behind primary and secondary we understand the type of the nodes which might define their ordering. However, if primary node gone, we can't maintain the ordering by definition of the linked list. Thus, by ordering secondary node becomes first in the list. But in this case the meaning of it is still secondary (or auxiliary). The type of the node is maintained by the secondary pointer in it: secondary pointer Meaning NULL or valid primary node ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) secondary node So, if by some reason we do the following sequence of calls set_primary_fwnode(dev, NULL); set_primary_fwnode(dev, primary); we should preserve secondary node. This concept is supported by the description of set_primary_fwnode() along with implementation of set_secondary_fwnode(). Hence, fix the commit |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
