KernelCI found this patch causes the baseline.bootrr.deferred-probe-empty test to fail on r8a77960-ulcb, see the following details for more information.

stable-rc/linux-5.10.y bisection: baseline.bootrr.deferred-probe-empty on r8a77960-ulcb
You are testing 5.10.y, yet the subject says 5.17?
Which is it here?
Sorry, I accidentally used the lore link for 5.17 while reporting this issue, but this test does fail on all the stable releases from 5.10 onwards.
stable 5.15 :- https://linux.kernelci.org/test/case/id/64dd156a5ac58d0cf335b1ea/ mainline :- https://linux.kernelci.org/test/case/id/64dc13d55cb51357a135b209/
Shreeya, can you try the patch Geert suggested and let us know if it helps? If not, then I can try to take a closer look.
I tried to test the kernel with 9be4cbd09da8 but it didn't change the result. https://lava.collabora.dev/scheduler/job/11311615
Also, I am not sure if this can change things but just FYI, KernelCI adds some kernel parameters when running these tests and one of the parameter is deferred_probe_timeout=60.
Ah this is good to know.
You can check this in the definition details given in the Lava job. I also tried to remove this parameter and rerun the test but again I got the same result.
How long does the test wait after boot before checking for the deferred devices list?
AFAIK, script for running the tests is immediately ran after the boot process is complete so there is no wait time.
I will try to add 9be4cbd09da8 to mainline kernel and see what results I get.
Now I'm confused. What do you mean by mainline? Are you saying the tip of tree of Linus's tree is also hitting this issue?
KernelCI runs tests on different kernel branches and trees, we also have this same test running on mainline tree. Following is the link to the dashboard for it and as you can see, it does fail there too.
