Hello there,

My (QEMU) boot times were recently extended by 10 seconds.
Looking at the timestamps, it looks like nothing is being done for 10 whole
seconds.

A git bisect landed me at the patch in $subject:
2b28a1a84a0e ("driver core: Extend deferred probe timeout on driver registration")

Adding a WARN_ON(1) in wait_for_device_probe(), as requested by the patch
author from the others seeing a regression with this patch, gives two different
stacktraces during boot:
