I got delegated this bug by the acting floppy.c maintainer ( Cc'd )

It looks like a block request snuck through before we had initialised the
motor_off_timer timers. So i pushed the timer init earlier.

Tested here with a floppy in the driver on module load and without a
floppy. Could you verify it fixes your bug too?

Thanks
