Note that just setting deferred_probe_timeout = -1 like for the
CONFIG_MODULES=n case doesn't help.

I added some debug code to mount_nfs_root(), which shows that the first
3 tries happen before ravb is instantiated, and the last 3 tries happen
after. So NFS root should work, if the network works.
However, it seems the Ethernet PHY is never initialized, hence the link
never becomes ready. Dmesg before/after:
ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: Base address at 0xe6800000,
2e:09:0a:02:ea:ff, IRQ 108.
Good.

-gpio_rcar e6052000.gpio: sense irq = 11, type = 8
This is the GPIO the PHY IRQ is connected to.
Note that that GPIO controller has been instantiated before.

It does, as now everything using optional links (DMA and IOMMU) is now
instantiated on first try.
