Is the issue occurring just with PON or are you able to trigger the issue even
in the upstream codebase? I guess you should not post a fix for some code that
is not upstream yet. Moreover, in the PON setup, I guess the approach is still
broken if the user change the device mac address.

This is only required adding the above configuration since in the current
codebase airoha_ppe_init_upd_mem() is always running holding RTNL.
