I experienced this too before, but isn't it generalizing too much here?
I mean it is not easy to observe timing issue with printk.

Shouldn't this explanation and some examples below go to the media
specific document instead of here?
Some parts in this patch are tricky to decide where to go, but
suggesting to review once again.
