Bug Description

After the system has been running for several hours the CPU usage spikes approximately every 58 seconds. I ran 'top' and noticed that systemd and dbus were using the CPU. I then ran 'dbus-monitor --system' and saw a large stream of messages corresponding to the CPU consumption. I've attached the output of 'dbus-monitor' with the bug report. The output represents about 8 seconds of monitoring and it is over 3M. If you look at it you'll notice that it is mostly the same message from several diskseq devices referring to /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.4/0000:01:00.0/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.0/host10/target10:0:0/10:0:0:0/block/sdc
  The output of 'systemctl list-units' references the same device and notes that it is a memory card reader.

There is also output from 'udevadm monitor'. I've added an attachment for the output.

To get more information on the devices I used 'systemctl list-units'. I've attached the output from that. The device referenced in the other attachments appears to be a memory card reader.
