this patch should be sent to GregKH/Linus as a 6.1-rcx fix, it does seem
to make the life of Arch/Debian users less miserable - for some reason
very large delays on driver probe seem to trigger this corner case and
make things even worse.

see https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/3777 for details.

Thanks Vinod.
