It has been doing this for years (forcing itself upon you as soon as you
enable the MODULES & SCSI options). It is the only module doing that.
I consider the behaviour broken since it takes the option away from me to have
a static kernel with only third party software as modules. But it is no big
issue.

Disable modules and it will disappear. I believe it is related to
CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC but take a look at commit
5e2fb917920c62c5ad260962471aeb578b52ac40 for some more details too...

If you have SCSI enabled and MODULES enabled, this kconfig symbol will be
enabled (=m) automatically. From drivers/scsi/Kconfig (with # comments):
config SCSI_WAIT_SCAN
tristate # No prompt here, this is an invisible symbol.
default m
depends on SCSI
depends on MODULES
# scsi_wait_scan is a loadable module which waits until all the async scans are
# complete. The idea is to use it in initrd/ initramfs scripts. You modprobe
# it after all the modprobes of the root SCSI drivers and it will wait until
# they have all finished scanning their buses before allowing the boot to
# proceed. (This method is not applicable if targets boot independently in
# parallel with the initiator, or with transports with non-deterministic target
# discovery schemes, or if a transport driver does not support scsi_wait_scan.)
#
# This symbol is not exposed as a prompt because little is to be gained by
# disabling it, whereas people who accidentally switch it off may wonder why
# their mkinitrd gets into trouble.

I don't like modules. :-)
What is pulling this in:
CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m
I edited .config but make must have turned it back on.
