Danilo Krummrich f611dafe0f iommu/arm-smmu-qcom: do not register driver in probe()
commit ed1ac3c977 upstream.

Commit 0b4eeee287 ("iommu/arm-smmu-qcom: Register the TBU driver in
qcom_smmu_impl_init") intended to also probe the TBU driver when
CONFIG_ARM_SMMU_QCOM_DEBUG is disabled, but also moved the corresponding
platform_driver_register() call into qcom_smmu_impl_init() which is
called from arm_smmu_device_probe().

However, it neither makes sense to register drivers from probe()
callbacks of other drivers, nor does the driver core allow registering
drivers with a device lock already being held.

The latter was revealed by commit dc23806a7c ("driver core: enforce
device_lock for driver_match_device()") leading to a deadlock condition
described in [1].

Additionally, it was noted by Robin that the current approach is
potentially racy with async probe [2].

Hence, fix this by registering the qcom_smmu_tbu_driver from
module_init(). Unfortunately, due to the vendoring of the driver, this
requires an indirection through arm-smmu-impl.c.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
