[PATCH v3 0/3] Fixes for deferred_probe_timeout cleanup

From: John Stultz
Date: Wed Apr 22 2020 - 16:33:03 EST


Just wanted to resubmit these three fixes for the
deferred_probe_timeout cleanup that landed in the v5.7-rc1 merge
window.

The first resets the default timeout value back to zero so we
have no behavioral change from 5.6. This avoids regressions on
boards that have "optional links" in their device tree.

The second changes the code to use dev_warn() instead of
dev_WARN() to address complaints about unnecessary backtraces in
the boot log.

The last fixes an issue discovered by Yoshihiro Shimoda
and Geert Uytterhoeven, where if a timeout was set, things
like NFS root might fail due to wait_for_device_probe()
not blocking until the timeout expires.

New in v3:
* Just included the previously posted dev_warn() fix into the
series, so they didn't collide.
