ralink mt7621 attempts to use kzalloc before normal memory management is
available.
Before v6.1-rc1, mt7621.c soc_dev_init silently failed to kzalloc and
returned immediately afterwards, continuing to boot without the
SOC_BUS device registered.
After, (with CONFIG_SLUB) kernel crashes before it outputs any console
messages
This was bisected to an mm/slub change (detailed in patch 3)
This change exposed oops in the quirks tables in the mt7621 phy-pci &
pci-controller drivers. The phy-pci quirk fix got into -rc5,
but the pci-controller quirk fix has not been picked up yet.
