spi: of: do not try load modules for of-registered devices
PATCH 1/1 spi: of: do not try load modules for of-registered devices
Trying to register an SPI device asynchronously (via async_schedule() call) results in an ugly warning from request_module() warning about potential deadlock (because request_module tries to wait for async works to complete). While we could try to switch to request_module_nowait(), other buses, as well as SPI itself when not using device tree, do not try to load modules, but rather rely on the standard infrastructure (udev) to execute module loading, and we should be doing the same.
