Any idea how I might be able to reproduce this ? So far I have been
unsuccessful.

Building drivetemp into the kernel, with ahci and everything SCSI
built as module, doesn't trigger the crash for me. This is with the
drivetemp patch (v3) as well as commit d188b0675b ("scsi: core: Add
sysfs attributes for VPD pages 0h and 89h") applied on top of v5.4.7.

Thanks,
