Of the ~40 platforms in arch/arm64/Kconfig.platforms, there appear to
be 5 that do select it.

I don't know about the deferred probe timeout, but I bisected the 6.5-rc4
breakage to this commit:

  commit c720a1f5e6ee8cb39c28435efc0819cec84d6ee2

      arm64: zynqmp: Describe TI phy as ethernet-phy-id

So, reverting that on master appears to correct the issue (together with
setting CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER=y).
