In https://bugs.debian.org/1006149 we have 2 users where the 5.16 kernel fails 
to boot, while the 5.15 kernel succeeded.
In the bug report there are a number of dmesg outputs posted which contain 
time gaps of ~ 20, 100 and even 160 seconds; i.e. more then 15 seconds.
The commit message mentions 'SATA link up 6.0 Gbps', but these users hava PATA 
links for their HDD. IIUC that means a max speed of ~600MB/s vs ~133MB/s.

As the author of the above mentioned commit, could you tell us whether it 
*could* be that your commit is causing the boot failures? Or is it completely 
irrelevant for this problem?

Cheers,
  Diederik
