[ Upstream commit 65946690ed8d972fdb91a74ee75ac0f0f0d68321 ]
The coreboot_table driver registers a coreboot bus while probing a
"coreboot_table" device representing the coreboot table memory region.
Probing this device (i.e., registering the bus) is a dependency for the
module_init() functions of any driver for this bus (e.g.,
memconsole-coreboot.c / memconsole_driver_init()).
With synchronous probe, this dependency works OK, as the link order in
the Makefile ensures coreboot_table_driver_init() (and thus,
coreboot_table_probe()) completes before a coreboot device driver tries
to add itself to the bus.
With asynchronous probe, however, coreboot_table_probe() may race with
memconsole_driver_init(), and so we're liable to hit one of these two:
1. coreboot_driver_register() eventually hits "[...] the bus was not
initialized.", and the memconsole driver fails to register; or
2. coreboot_driver_register() gets past #1, but still races with
bus_register() and hits some other undefined/crashing behavior (e.g.,
in driver_find() [1])
We can resolve this by registering the bus in our initcall, and only
deferring "device" work (scanning the coreboot memory region and
creating sub-devices) to probe().
[1] Example failure, using 'driver_async_probe=*' kernel command line:
