Maybe? The main issue for me was my change was clearly breaking users
with dts with missing dependencies where their setup was working
before. I sort of feel like having a dtb with missing dependencies is
less valid than wanting to load module dependencies from userland, but
they were working first, so we have to keep them happy :) And at least
now the latter can add the timeout boot argument to make it work.

For your case, I'm not sure if the timeout would run afoul on the nfs
root mounting case this one tripped over.
