Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] driver core: Set deferred_probe_timeout to a longer default if CONFIG_MODULES is set
Date:   Tue, 25 Feb 2020 05:08:24 +0000
Message-Id: <20200225050828.56458-3-john.stultz@linaro.org>
In-Reply-To: <20200225050828.56458-1-john.stultz@linaro.org>
References: <20200225050828.56458-1-john.stultz@linaro.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

When using modules, its common for the modules not to be loaded
until quite late by userland. With the current code,
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() will stop returning
EPROBE_DEFER after late_initcall, which can cause module
dependency resolution to fail after that.

So allow a longer window of 30 seconds (picked somewhat
arbitrarily, but influenced by the similar regulator core
timeout value) in the case where modules are enabled.
