It is a bit better. Let's clarify a few points before continuing.
1. I realized all components on your board are ADL-P. (lspci_npk.txt). I 
now aware (I will ask around) about combination of ADL and old 1Gbe 
controller.
Where did you get this board? My concern is that the wrong BIOS/IFWI is 
in use for this platform. 1Gbe controller may come up with corrupted 
initial HW values. (NVM of controller is corrupted, in this case, we 
will face a much worst platform behavior)

2. Need confirmation that writing to the 'FFLT_DBG' register is harmless 
for the CML platform.
