https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/drivers/base?id=1137838865bfc9a7cd5869c1dc5c22aa45ec12c8

Why "driver_deferred_probe_timeout * HZ" => "driver_deferred_probe_timeout" ?

[Tetsuo Handa]

Here is an analysis from Google AI mode regarding this problem: https://share.google/aimode/UO1WnoKPDSbyjY5Qj

Greg, can you immediately drop commit 1137838865bf ("driver core: Use mod_delayed_work to prevent
lost deferred probe work") so that syzbot can resume testing linux-next tree as soon as possible?
