Subject: [PATCH 4/5] platform/chrome: cros_ec_lightbar: Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS

This driver takes on the order of 15ms to start on some systems. Even on
systems where there is no lightbar support, it can take a few
milliseconds just to probe the EC for support. It shouldn't have many
cross-device dependencies to race with, nor racy access to shared state
with other drivers, so this should be a relatively low risk change.

This driver was pinpointed as part of a survey of top slowest initcalls
(i.e., are built in, and probing synchronously) on a lab of ChromeOS
systems.
