Subject: raid6: defer implementation selection when built-in
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:47:37 +0200

Don't hold up early boot and defer the selection just like we've been
doing for the RAID5 XOR code since commit 524ccdbdfb52 ("crypto: xor -
defer load time benchmark to a later time").

This will also allow full use of the timing subsystem for benchmarking.
