Hi Jakub
    Ok the bad commit is the following:
************************************
6b2c6e4a938fece9b539c8085f21d17c5e6eb9de is the first bad commit
commit 6b2c6e4a938fece9b539c8085f21d17c5e6eb9de
Author: Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@...hat.com>

     net: stmmac: propagate feature flags to vlan

     stmmac_dev_probe doesn't propagate feature flags to VLANs.  So features
     like offloading don't correspond with the general features and it's not
     possible to manipulate features via ethtool -K to affect VLANs.

     Propagate feature flags to vlan features.  Drop TSO feature because
     it does not work on VLANs yet.

****************************************
 From back in the work for 6.4-rc1

Theres a single line addition  approx line 7506 
drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c

ndev->vlan_features |= ndev->features;

Commenting this out and things work again.
We're not using VLANs on this interface, or in this system at all.
Also verified I had reenabled tx crc offload during this test.

Cheers
