I agree, that seems like a crazy amount of time.

Can you figure out how to turn on pr_debug() (via the dynamic debug
mess or whatever) and boot with "initcall_debug"? That should tell us
how long each quirk took.

I am sorry for taking so long to reply. I finally added `dyndbg=file quirks.c +p` to the command line of Linux 4.13.13. This is on another AMD system (Asus F285M Pro).

So itâs `pci fixup quirk_usb_early_handoff` taking around 85 ms, and that twice.

Itâd be great, if the times could be reduced, so that the time from
GRUB to entering the LUKS passphrase gets smaller.


Kind regards,
