There seems to be changes implementing aasync probing intermixed with
the function pointers change, it had to be split out and justification
needs to be provided - I am not quite convinced we should be doing this,
at least not at individual driver level.

Also instead of listing individual function pointers consider defining

struct cyapa_ops {
void (*irq_handler)(struct cyapa *);
int (*set_power_mode)(struct cyapa *, u8, u16);
int (*bl_enter_func)(struct cyapa *);
....
};

and use const pointer to it in cyapa_state. Then you can have gen3 and
gen5 implementation separated into individual files and the rest forming
cyapa core.

Thanks.
