Hi John,

I found an issue after applied the following patches:
---
64c775f driver core: Rename deferred_probe_timeout and make it global
0e9f8d0 driver core: Remove driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue()
bec6c0e pinctrl: Remove use of driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue()
e2cec7d driver core: Set deferred_probe_timeout to a longer default if 
CONFIG_MODULES is set
c8c43ce driver core: Fix driver_deferred_probe_check_state() logic
---

Before these patches, on my environment [1], some device drivers
which has iommus property output the following message when probing:

[    3.222205] ravb e6800000.ethernet: ignoring dependency for device, assuming 
no driver
[    3.257174] ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: Base address at 0xe6800000, 
2e:09:0a:02:eb:2d, IRQ 117.

So, since ravb driver is probed within 4 seconds, we can use NFS rootfs 
correctly.

However, after these patches are applied, since the patches are always waiting 
for 30 seconds
for of_iommu_configure() when IOMMU hardware is disabled, drivers/base/dd.c 
output WARN.
Also, since ravb cannot be probed for 30 seconds, we cannot use NFS rootfs 
anymore.
JFYI, I copied the kernel log to the end of this email.

I guess the patches will be merged into v5.7-rc1 because the patches are 
contained from
next-20200316, I'd like to fix the issue in v5.7-rcN cycle somehow.

This already came up in a different context, and there's a proposal from John here:
