of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for remote-endpoint

remote-endpoint property seems to always come in pairs where two devices
point to each other. So, we can't really tell from DT if there is a
functional probe order dependency between these two devices.

However, there can be other dependencies between two devices that point
to each other with remote-endpoint. This non-remote-endpoint dependency
combined with one of the remote-endpoint dependency can lead to a cyclic
dependency[1].

To avoid this cyclic dependency from incorrectly blocking probes,
fw_devlink needs to be made aware of remote-endpoint dependencies even
though remote-endpoint dependencies by themselves won't affect probe
ordering (because fw_devlink will see the cyclic dependency between
remote-endpoint devices and ignore the dependencies that cause the
cycle).

Also, if a device ever needs to know if a non-probe-blocking
remote-endpoint has finished probing, it can now use the sync_state() to
figure it out.
