Thanks for your patch!

I was quite sure there was a good reason why this was not done in
.probe() before...

And indeed, the original submission[1] did have a comment explaining
that:

    + /*
    + * Since probe() can be deferred we need to make sure that
    + * hook_fault_code is not called after __init memory is freed
    + * by kernel and since rcar_pcie_abort_handler() is a no-op,
    + * we can install the handler here without risking it
    + * accessing some uninitialized driver state.
    + */

No idea why it was removed in v2 and later, but the point is:
hook_fault_code() is __init, so you cannot call it from a deferred
probe.
And you should have got a section mismatch warning ;-)
