ASoC: cs35l56: Fix probe deadlock waiting for SoundWire enumeration
On SoundWire, don't call snd_soc_register_component() from driver probe().
Instead, queue a work item after first SoundWire attach to call
snd_soc_register_component(). This prevents a deadlock if
snd_soc_register_component() directly calls cs35l56_component_probe().

On SoundWire, the registers are not accessible during driver probe().
Drivers must return from their probe() and wait for the SoundWire core
to call their update_status() callback to report an ATTACHED status. The
cs35l56 driver handled this by calling snd_soc_register_component() from
driver probe() as usual, and cs35l56_component_probe() waited for
init_completion to be signalled. A SoundWire attach calls cs35l56_init()
which then signals init_completion.

This created a deadlock if this was the last component needed to complete
a card. In that case, snd_soc_register_component() directly called
cs35l56_component_probe() which led to this:

    driver probe()
        calls snd_soc_register_component()
            calls cs35l56_component_probe()
                waits for init_completion

In this case the driver probe() has not returned, so the SoundWire core
would not call update_status() and init_completion would not be signalled.

Fortunately, snd_soc_register_component() never returns -EPROBE_DEFER, so
it doesn't need to be called from a driver probe(). It can be deferred to
a work item. This work is queued after the first completed pass through
cs35l56_init(), so there is no need for it to wait for init_completion.
snd_soc_register_component() isn't called directly from cs35l56_init()
because cs35l56_init() runs in the SoundWire bus driver thread, and there
would be a risk of nested locking or lock inversion.

The work item is queued on a freezable workqueue to prevent a race between
the work item and system_suspend of another instance. If the workqueue
were not frozen it would be possible for the work item of one driver
instance to call snd_soc_register_component() which then calls
cs35l56_component_probe() of another instance while that instance is
already executing its system suspend functions.

The non-SoundWire case still calls snd_soc_register_component() from
cs35l56_common_probe() so that it is the last initialization action.
There's no need defer the call for I2S/SPI buses so we can also leave it
able to return errors during probe.

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
