I'm going to repeat my point here, but only once.

I see no reason to do async shutdown this way, instead of adding a
flag for drivers to opt in for calling their existing shutdown
callbacks asynchronously, in analogy with the async suspend and resume
implementation.

Is there any reason why this is not viable?
