Subject: [PATCH 1/2] usb: ehci-pci: Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS

This driver often takes on the order of 8ms to start, but every little
bit counts. It shouldn't have many cross-device dependencies to
race with, nor racy access to shared state with other drivers, so this
should be a relatively low risk change.

This driver was pinpointed as part of a survey of top slowest initcalls
(i.e., are built in, and probing synchronously) on a lab of ChromeOS
systems.

However, I'm curious to know why this patch makes ehci-pci use
PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS even when CONFIG_PM isn't set, whereas the 2/2
patch makes xhci-pci use PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS only when CONFIG_PM
is set.

That's definitely a bug in patch 2. This has nothing (or, little; probe
order can technically affect the PM suspend/resume order) to do with
CONFIG_PM, except that the .pm hooks tend to sit nearby, and repeated
driver patching makes the author's eyes glaze over sometimes...

Thanks. v2 coming.
