When built-in to the kernel, the corsair-psu driver fails to register with
the following message:

"Driver 'corsair-psu' was unable to register with bus_type 'hid'
because the bus was not initialized."

Fix this by initializing the driver after the HID bus using
late_initcall(), as hwmon is built before HID.

Woops! Just saw that the same fix was sent yesterday. Please disregard, sorry!

It is fine. I just start to wonder if there was a change in the subsystem. I
used the driver as built-in in the past for several months and never had that
issue. And now it is a real flood of reports.


Maybe there was a change in the build order, or some subtle change
in driver registration code. Question though is _when_ this changed.
It would be great if someone could bisect it. For example, bus registration
code has been changed significantly in v6.3. I am copying linux-input
and the hid maintainers for feedback.

Either case, I now have two patches and at least the first one was actually
tested, but no Reviewed-by: or Tested-by: for either of them. While that is
of course a formality, it would still be useful to show that it is not just
a random change.

Thanks,
Guenter
