Revert "driver core: Add edit_links() callback for drivers"

This reverts commit 134b23eec9e3a3c795a6ceb0efe2fa63e87983b2.

Based on a lot of email and in-person discussions, this patch series is
being reworked to address a number of issues that were pointed out that
needed to be taken care of before it should be merged. It will be
resubmitted with those changes hopefully soon.

  * @probe_type:	Type of the probe (synchronous or asynchronous) to use.

- * @edit_links:	Called to allow a matched driver to edit the device links the
- *		bus might have added incorrectly. This will be useful to handle
- *		cases where the bus incorrectly adds functional dependencies
- *		that aren't true or tries to create cyclic dependencies. But
- *		doesn't correctly handle functional dependencies that are

- *		gets to edit the device links for the consumer.

- *		This function might be called multiple times after a new device
- *		is added.  The function is expected to create all the device
- *		links for the new device and return 0 if it was completed
- *		successfully or return an error if it needs to be reattempted
- *		in the future.
  * @probe:	Called to query the existence of a specific device,
