Sure thing! Information included below, I am more than happy to continue
to test and debug as you need.

If I add a pr_info() call at the top of wait_for_device_probe(), I see
it right before the process hangs. Adding WARN_ON(1) right below that
reveals dasd_eckd_init() in drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd.c calls
wait_for_device_probe():

At commit 6ee60e9c9f2f ("MAINTAINERS: add Russ Weight as a firmware
loader maintainer"), both deferred_probe_timeout=1 and
deferred_probe_timeout=300 hang the boot.

Sure, that does not appear to make a difference with
deferred_probe_timeout=1.

Nathan
