This can be called from asoc_sdw_cs_spk_rtd_init() when limiting the
volume, that's still synchronous while setting up the card - the main
Speaker Volume control uses cs35l56_dspwait_{get,put}_volsw() and when
we set up the volume limit we at least read the current volume.  The
deferred work will block on init_completion and error out if that times
out but init_completion is still signalled in the callback that's
blocked waiting for probe().

AFAICT we always try to limit the volume for these speakers?

I think the component registration needs to be moved out of probe into a
work item...
