This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
driver core: Fix handling of SYNC_STATE_ONLY + STATELESS device links
to my driver-core git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git in the driver-core-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Commit 21c27f06587d ("driver core: Fix SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link implementation") didn't completely fix STATELESS + SYNC_STATE_ONLY handling.
What looks like an optimization in that commit is actually a bug that causes an if condition to always take the else path. This prevents reordering of devices in the dpm_list when a DL_FLAG_STATELESS device link is create on top of an existing DL_FLAG_SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link.
