On my system the spi_nor_probe() took ~6 ms at bootup. That's not a lot, but every little bit adds up to a slow bootup. While we can get this out of the boot path by making it a module, there are times where it is convenient (or even required) for this to be builtin the kernel. Let's set that we prefer async probe so that we don't block other drivers from probing while we are probing. This is a tiny little change that is almost guaranteed to be safe for anything that is able to run as a module, which SPI_NOR is. Specifically modules are already probed asynchronously. Also: since other things in the system may have enabled asynchronous probe the system may already be doing other things during our probe. There is a small possibility that some other driver that was a client of SPI_NOR didn't handle -EPROBE_DEFER and was relying on probe ordering and only worked when the SPI_NOR and the SPI bus were builtin. In that case the other driver has a bug that's waiting to hit and the other driver should be fixed.
