Agreed. Apologies again for the trouble.

I do feel like the probe timeout to handle optional links is causing a
lot of the trouble here. I expect fw_devlink would solve this, but it
may be awhile before it can be always enabled.  I may see about
pushing the default probe timeout value to be a little further out
than init (I backed away from my last attempt as I didn't want to
cause long (30 second) delays for cases like NFS root, but maybe 2-5
seconds would be enough to make things work better for everyone).

thanks
