SOC have internal I/O buses that can't be proved for devices. The
devices on the buses can be accessed directly without additinal
configuration required. This type of bus is represented as
"simple-bus". In some platforms, we name "soc" with "simple-bus"
attribute and many devices are hooked under it desribed in DT
(device tree).

In commit 'bf74ad5bc417 introduce ("[PATCH] Hold the device's
parent's lock during probe and remove")' to solve USB subsystem
lock sequence since usb device's characteristic. Thus "soc"
needs to be locked whenever a device and driver's probing
happen under "soc" bus. During this period, an async driver
tries to probe a device which is under the "soc" bus would be
blocked until previous driver finish the probing and release "soc"
lock. And the next probing under the "soc" bus need to wait for
async finish. Because of that, driver's async probe for init
time improvement will be shadowed.

Since many devices don't have USB devices' characteristic, they
actually don't need parent's lock. Thus, we introduce a lock flag
in device struct and driver core would lock the parent lock base
on the flag. For usbsystem, we set this flag when its device and
driver is matched and to keep original lock behavior in driver
core.

Async probe could have more benefit after this patch.

Changes in v2:
 - take Alan's suggestion to introudce a flag to guide driver
   core to hold device parent's lock.

[v1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/22/545

Currently, I have the flag set in USB subsystem match function.
Since I'm not familar with USB part, need some feedback to know
if they cover all the cases that original case driver core
protects.

Nit, your name here is probably not what you sign legal documents with.
Please use your "real name" in this line, and in your From: email line
(hint, no '_').  This prevents me from accepting the patch at all.

Changes were suggested, I don't know if the whole idea was :)

Shouldn't this be a bus type flag, and not a device-specific flag?  You
are only ever caring about this based on the type of bus the device is
on, the rule would not be different for different devices on the same
bus from what I can tell.

thanks,

The match function is not the right place.  Take Greg's suggestion and 
put the new flag in the bus_type structure instead.

The new need_parent_lock flag is self-explanatory.  You can remove the 
"Needed for USB" comments here and elsewhere; instead just have a 
single comment where the flag is defined.

I guess your SoB should go last (at least this is how -s works in git commit)
