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().

Fixes: b81e3140e412 ("firmware: coreboot: Make bus registration symmetric") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Brian Norris briannorris@chromium.org --- Currently, get_maintainers.pl tells me Greg should pick this up. But I CC the chrome-platform list too, since it seems reasonable for Google folks (probably ChromeOS folks are most active here?) to maintain Google/Chrome drivers.
Let me know if y'all would like this official, and I'll push out a MAINTAINERS patch.
