Can initializing of i8042 driver happen using a wait for completion ?
If so I'd be happy for the sort of change going in first and then a fix
to enable it so that others can rely on it as an example of how to shy
away from the temporary async probe blacklist.
And is there any grammatical expression which can be used to hunt for similar
types of incompatibilities with async probe ? I'm wondering if one can hunt
for them using for instance Coccinelle SmPL grammar
