This reverts commit ef76a3a28c79b628890431aa344af633e892035b.

The patch causes boot regressions on multiple machines. A NULL pointer
dereference occurs when agpio->resource_source.string_ptr is NULL (i.e.
when string_length is 0), and a probe deferral loop causes CPU starvation
leading to kernel panic on Intel CI machines.

The patch needs a proper rewrite addressing these issues before resubmission.
