I'm no expert in this area, I'd trust the opinion of the embedded folks
(adding Florian as well) more than myself. It's unclear to me why we'd
wait_for_init_devices_probe() after the first failed iteration, sleep,
and then allow 11 more iterations with wait_for_device_probe().

Let me also add Thomas since he wrote e2ffe3ff6f5e ("net: ipconfig:
Wait for deferred device probes").
