Oh ok I see, and it seems to choose queue 2 fairly often...

I noticed it without doing anything, just boot via NFS. There was always
a little bit of activity, at least according to the link (blinks every
~5s).

It seemd that it happened a bit earlier when using iperf to exacerbate
the problem...

I noticed that errata 7885 is not mentioned in the i.MX 7 errata, so I
created a new devtype:

        }, {
                .name = "imx7d-fec",
                .driver_data = FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC | FEC_QUIRK_HAS_GBIT |
                                FEC_QUIRK_HAS_BUFDESC_EX |
FEC_QUIRK_HAS_CSUM |
                                FEC_QUIRK_HAS_VLAN |
FEC_QUIRK_BUG_CAPTURE |
                                FEC_QUIRK_HAS_RACC |
FEC_QUIRK_HAS_COALESCE,
        }, {

I had that running for about 6h with iperf, it did not seem to happen
despite lots of traffic and interrupts:
 58:   12782877     GIC-0 150 Level     30be0000.ethernet
 59:   14607039     GIC-0 151 Level     30be0000.ethernet
 60:   32356307     GIC-0 152 Level     30be0000.ethernet

But just when I restarted the same stack trace appeared again....
