Thanks for your help. I'm not sure if this is related to gro, link related code is handled by different component [management firmware (mfw)]. May be the complete logs/register-dump provide some additional pointers. There were some fixes in the newer version of mfw, getting the mfw version on the chip would help (ethtool -i <interface> provides mfw/boot-code version).
