I've noticed that USBnet/ASIX AX88772B USB driver produces deplock kernel

Is that 32 bit?
Yes. ARM 32bit. Exynos5420 SoC (4 x CortexA15 + 4 x CortexA7 big.LITTLE
CPUs).
special activity is needed to reproduce this issue, it happens almost
on every boot. ASIX USB ethernet is connected to XHCI USB host controller
on that board. Is it a known issue? Frankly I have no idea where to look
No, it is not known.
to fix it. The same adapter connected to EHCI ports on other boards based
on the same SoC works fine without any warnings.
Odd.
And the log with mentioned warning:
[ 17.768040] ================================

Looks like this triggers (in usbnet):
u64_stats_update_begin(&stats64->syncp);
stats64->rx_packets++;
stats64->rx_bytes += skb->len;
u64_stats_update_end(&stats64->syncp);
That I considered to be called under lock.
Could you comment this out for testing?
Yes, commenting this out indeed hides the deplock warning.
Best regards
