[RFC v2 4/6] cxgb4: use async probe

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Fri Sep 05 2014 - 02:38:08 EST


From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

cxgb4 probe can take up to over 1 minute when the firmware is
is written and installed on the device, even after this the device
driver still does some device probing and can take quite a bit.
systemd will kill this driver when probe does take over 30 seconds,
use the asynch probe mechanism to circumvent this.
