onvif integration permanently 'initializing' after update core-2025.1.4

[AndriesMuylaert]

The problem

After update core-2025.1.4 my onvif integration showed a permanent state 'initializing'.
The continuously initializing polling caused my Dahua NVR and cameras to go offline after 2-3 minutes (too many requests ?).
Rebooting HA or Dahua NVR did not help.
After DISABLING the HA onvif integration the Dahua NVR revived.

The final workaround was to DISABLE the onvif integration and to RE-ENABLE the integration.
After that the onvif integration loaded successfully.
Hope this helps others.
