Sry, needed to be more specific.

You've added  device_set_deferred_probe_reson(dev, &vaf);
which expected to be used on every EPROBE_DEFER in dev_err_probe() in combination with

+       } else {
+               device_set_deferred_probe_reson(dev, &vaf);
                 dev_dbg(dev, "error %d: %pV", err, &vaf);

^^ dev_dbg() does not add any runtime overhead during boot unless enabled
+       }

But:

+void device_set_deferred_probe_reson(const struct device *dev, struct va_format *vaf)
+{
+       const char *drv = dev_driver_string(dev);
+
+       mutex_lock(&deferred_probe_mutex);
+
+       kfree(dev->p->deferred_probe_reason);
+       dev->p->deferred_probe_reason = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%s: %pV", drv, vaf);
+
+       mutex_unlock(&deferred_probe_mutex);
+}

^^ Adds locking, kfree() and kasprintf() for every deferred probe during boot and can't be disabled.

Right?
