We don't want to miss an alarm message. User should be warned.

As
ctx->hwmon_dev = hwmon_device_register_with_groups(ctx->dev,

"apm_xgene",
                                                           ctx,
                                                           xgene_hwmon_groups);
How about, callback functions check the ctx->hwmon_dev validation. If
not, they just save msg into FIFO.
Beside of that, as hwmon functions can be called before ctx->hwmon_dev
is assigned. Callback functions check if there is a mailbox response
pending before saving msg into FIFO as below

static int xgene_hwmon_rx_ready(struct xgene_hwmon_dev *ctx, void *msg)
{
        if (IS_ERR(ctx->hwmon_dev) && !ctx->resp_pending) {
                /* Enqueue to the FIFO */
                kfifo_in_spinlocked(&ctx->async_msg_fifo, msg,
                                    sizeof(struct slimpro_resp_msg),
                                    &ctx->kfifo_lock);

                return -EBUSY;
        }

        return 0;
}


At the end of probe function, driver always schedules a bottom handler
to handle FIFO msg.

Then we can remove the init_flag and rx_pending.

Thanks
Hoan
