This implements support for this and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe. Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides will be immediately available after this.
