I'm assuming it's this one?

Sorry, I haven't ever setup qemu and booted vexpress. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the pointer. I took a look at the logs and the code. It's
very strange. As you can see from the backtrace, platform_match() is
being called for the device_add() from serio_handle_event(). But the
device that gets added there is on the serio_bus which obviously
should be using the serio_bus_match.

Based on the logs you added, it's pretty clear we are getting to
platform_match(). It's also strange that the drv->name is
vexpress-reset

But the platform_match() is happening for the device_add() from
serio_event_handle() that's adding a device to the serio_bus and it
should be using serio_bus_match().
I haven't reached any conclusion yet, but my current thought process
is that it's either:
1. My patch is somehow causing list corruption. But I don't directly
touch any list in my change (other than deleting a list entirely), so
it's not clear how that would be happening.
2. Without my patch, these AMBA device's probe would be delayed at
least until 5 seconds or possibly later. I'm wondering if my patch is
catching some bad timing assumptions in other code.
You might be able to test out theory (2) by DEFERRED_DEVICE_TIMEOUT to
a much smaller number. Say 500ms or 100ms. If it doesn't crash, it
doesn't mean it's not (2), but if it does, then we know for sure it's
(2).
I'll continue debugging further.
