I sent in these two patches with Fixes tags, and some queries about getting
those pci & phy changes in before this fix, and also possibly in the 5.10 and 5.15 stable trees,
in case we want this kzalloc change too early backported as well? Please let me know what you think.

Some more queries here:
I should add a note in this commit message that this boot failure only happens with CONFIG_SLUB=y
Fixes reference or not?
Fixes 71b9b5e0130d ("MIPS: ralink: mt7621: introduce 'soc_device' initialization")
I used device_initcall, but postcore_initcall also works fine, and I am not sure of the difference here.
