"dpm_wait_for_children" function will be invoked in "__device_suspend", "__device_suspend_late", and "__device_suspend_noirq" functions to synchronize the child relationship. "dpm_wait" function will be invoked in "device_resume_noirq", "device_resume_early", and "device_resume" functions to synchronize the parent relationship. If two devices have parent/child relationship, but different suspend/resume mode(sync or async), this will have no impact to PM timing order between them. Because all devices will use "__device_suspend", "__device_suspend_late" ... functions to complete their PM transition.

Ok, good point. For the unaware here, can you please resend with a
commit message amended with some of this information?
