I don’t know if anyone find any of these dmesg logs entries look unusual. Unless I remember wrong, the log [tor jul 18 20:07:26 2024] was also present when booting on 6.9.7 kernel, so it should be fine as well.

Which leads me to believe the driver itself are probably good, unless it causes the race condition or something else does. Any advice on how I would go by to find out?

I reinstalled my workstation with the exact same setup. upgrading directly to 6.9.9 everything works as it should. I however upgraded my raspberry pi 4 from 6.9.7 to 6.9.8 and it also failed the at the same place as my workstation did. So something tells me that 6.9.8 aren’t 100% and whatever it is, it lingers around in future upgrades.

Now that you have a working configuration, look in journalctl for lines matching the extract you posted to see they are different.

Here’s the output from the working config.
