Is there an upper bound for this you can just use?

It taking too long and timing out is an error condition, so just
using a limit value of "100" or something should be perfectly fine.

I don't think it's reasonable to put every conceivable nuance into
the DT nodes.

I'm not applying this patch, sorry.
