Guessing it is just luck which you hit.. Random corrupted memory and
all..

Well, your shtudown is triggering the mlx driver shutdown code,
then it looks like the SRP stuff gets cleaned up? That certainly is
getting a bit exciting code wise

I see there have been some changes in the mlx5 shutdown handling
recently..

As an experiment comment out the '.shutdown = shutdown' in
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c?

And it would be interesting to know if your past success kernels were
printing the mlx5 shutdown message too? Perhaps something core kernel
changed to enable this path for your test?
