mainlining shenanigans

The deferred probe timer that's used for this currently starts at late_initcall and runs for driver_deferred_probe_timeout seconds. The assumption being that all available drivers would be loaded and registered before the timer expires. This means, the driver_deferred_probe_timeout has to be pretty large for it to cover the worst case. But if we set the default value for it to cover the worst case, it would significantly slow down the average case. For this reason, the default value is set to 0. Also, with CONFIG_MODULES=y and the current default values of driver_deferred_probe_timeout=0 and fw_devlink=on, devices with missing drivers will cause their consumer devices to always defer their probes. This is because device links created by fw_devlink defer the probe even before the consumer driver's probe() is called. Instead of a fixed timeout, if we extend an unexpired deferred probe timer on every successful driver registration, with the expectation more modules would be loaded in the near future, then the default value of driver_deferred_probe_timeout only needs to be as long as the worst case time difference between two consecutive module loads. So let's implement that and set the default value to 10 seconds when CONFIG_MODULES=y. Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
