Let me know if you are seeing a specific issue with the initramfs on
Fedora and I can help you.

We also configured all of the QC pinctrl drivers to be modules in
Fedora, and this causes a large number of probe deferrals on boot up.
One of the boots I measured was about a half second:

Everything eventually loads and works as expected though. The upstream
defconfig configures most of the pinctrl drivers to be built in for
Qualcomm.
