There are drivers that can not be probed asynchronously. One such group
is platform drivers registered with platform_driver_probe(), which
expects driver's probe routine be discarded after the driver has been
registered and initial binding attempt executed. Also
platform_driver_probe() an error when no devices were bound to the
driver, allowing failing to load such driver module altogether.
Other drivers do not work well with asynchronous probing because of
driver bug or not optimal driver organization.
To allow using such drivers even when user requests asynchronous probing
as default boot strategy, let's allow them to opt out.
