When we probe a SFP module, we expect to be able to call the upstream device's module_insert() function so that the upstream link can be configured. However, when the upstream device is delayed, we currently may end up probing the module before the upstream device is available, and lose the module_insert() call. Avoid this by holding off probing the module until the SFP bus is properly connected to both the SFP socket driver and the upstream driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
