it seems, that I'm able to reproduce this race condition on every boot with
5.10 on my Freescale i.MX6Q board, see the log excerpt bellow. I don't know if
this helps, but it's not happening on 5.4 kernel.

 (this serial console hiccup during PCI initialization seems quite strange as well, happens always)
