Bad news:
1. I do not have the message from udevd anymore but...
2. Philippe's Braille display does not work at all after upgrading.
   Unfortunately he can't investigate further right now (no sighted
   person around to help so he can't access his computer).

So I would suggest that another user without systemd tests 5.4 if
possible. Just wondering: maybe these recent changes:

are causing the issue? But that's just an assumption, of course.
