Hello Andreas,

Do you think this problem is RISC-V specific and related to the series?
Cf. https://gist.github.com/kvaps/4a61233e4427740c636a0cbd885e54cd

Should the problem in the network driver stop merging this series?

Booting on RISC-V works fine on block devices with this series. I would
be happy if this series were merged as is.

Best regards

Heinrich
