Right, I plan to submit a patch to disable the probing of unsupported
devices by default. I'll likely even do so today.

But that is not entirely without a risk of regressions and atm this
is causing a regression (breaks flicker free boot) in 6.16-rc# .

So I think we should move forward with Lukas' fix dor 6.16 and then
my patch to disable probing of unsupported devices by default can
be merged into linux-next .

Regards,

Hans
