More AI generated feedback here that still looks valid to me:
"""
ndo_stop() can sleep (e.g., via rproc_shutdown()). This function appears
to be called while holding a spinlock via the call chain:
icssm_prueth_ndev_port_link()
-> spin_lock_irqsave(&emac->addr_lock)
-> icssm_prueth_port_offload_fwd_mark_update()
-> icssm_prueth_change_mode()
-> ndo_stop() / ndo_open()
Is this intentional? The ndo_open() path also calls
icssm_prueth_sw_init_fdb_table() which does kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) and
rproc_boot(), both of which may sleep.

There are other similar cases; for the full report see:
