    HID: i2c-hid: Prefer asynchronous probe · eafb2203

    Adding printouts to the i2c_hid_probe() function shows that it takes
    quite some time.  It used to take about 70 ms, but after commit
    eef40162 ("HID: i2c-hid: Always sleep 60ms after I2C_HID_PWR_ON
    commands") it takes about 190 ms.  This is not tons of time but it's
    not trivial.  Because we haven't yet specified that we'd prefer
    asynchronous probe for this driver then, if the driver is builtin to
    the kernel, we'll wait for this driver to finish before we start
    probes for more drivers.  Let's set the flag to enable asynchronous
    for this driver so that other drivers aren't blocked from probing
    until we finish.
    
    Since this driver can be configured as a module and modules are
    always asynchronously probed this is quite a safe change and will
    benefit anyone who has a reason to build this driver into the kernel
    instead of using it as a module.
