      1. What happened?

On Rock-Pi E v1.2 booting 24.11.1 or 25.2.1 minimal/IOT Noble image fail with "illegal free".

Booting 25.5.0-trunk.316_Rockpi-e_plucky_current_6.12.21_minimal works with not working ethernet.

Upgrading 24.8.3 to 6.12 kernel ends also with not working ethernet, like when booting 25.5 trunk image.
This issue is probably after 24.11.1 version, because I have one board upgraded from 24.8.3 to 24.11.1 and it works OK.

Here is successful boot log of 24.8.3: https://paste.armbian.com/ixuvimofis.sql
here is boot log of 24.8.3 upgraded to 6.12: https://paste.armbian.com/ahezanixol.sql
Here is failing boot of 25.2.1: https://paste.armbian.com/onuhumomob.yaml
Here is boot log of 25.5_trunk.316 with verbosity=7: https://paste.armbian.com/bimosoyupi.yaml
