It could happen that the link exist because a device use it parent as supplier.
That case has been describe by Marek in this thread (I forgot to add
it in the commit message, sorry):

The documentation of the function is clear about return values:
"Check if @target depends on @dev or any device dependent on it (its
child or ts consumer etc). Return 1 if that is the case or 0
otherwise."
so, for me, not need to warn user about something that is expected.
