I merged git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq/core into
next-20250513 and this fixes the boot failure but the system still locks up
after a few minutes (with flashing capslock). To solve this I need to revert 
76a853f86c97 ("wifi: free SKBTX_WIFI_STATUS skb tx_flags flag")

Also commit 97f4b999e0c8 did not actually cause the boot failure that was a
bisection error.
