Brian Norris ca821c1f4e platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc: Force synchronous probe
This reverts commit bd88b965ae ("platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc: Mark
PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS"), and then some.

It has been reported that there are issues with 'cros-ec-keyb' devices
that are children of this. As noted in the initial patch for its ACPI
support (commit ba0f32141b ("Input: cros_ec_keyb - handle x86
detachable/convertible Chromebooks")), it's possible to probe an ACPI
child device before its parent is probed -- hence the need for
EPROBE_DEFER. Unfortunately, poking your parent's dev_get_drvdata()
isn't safe with asynchronous probe, as there's no locking, and the
ordering is all wrong anyway (drvdata is set before the device is
*really* ready).

Because this parent/child relationship has known issues, let's go the
other direction and force synchronous probe, until we resolve the
issues.

Possible solutions involve adding device links, so we ensure the child
doesn't probe before the parent is done; or perhaps some other larger
refactoring (auxiliary bus?). But that might take a little more effort
and review, as there are many other potential sub-devices of
cros_ec_lpc that could need patching.

Note that we don't have the same problem for non-ACPI cros-ec hosts,
like cros-ec-spi (commit 015e4b05c3 ("platform/chrome: cros_ec_spi:
Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS")), because its sub-devices aren't created
until cros_ec_register(), or they don't exist at all (e.g., FPMCU uses).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
