Thanks for the report!

Thanks for forwarding, can you give the attached patch a try to get
more information?

We should remove the BUG_ON() regardless of the outcome,
reserve_memtype() failures should not bring down the system.

In the meantime, I learned to bisect, and found the problem commit:
510ee090abc3dbc862bd35f5f3d8b7284a9117b4
"x86/mm/pat: Prepare {reserve, free}_memtype() for "decoy" addresses"
Perhaps you already knew that, but FWIW.

Thanks! That's the commit I referenced to when added Dan to Cc list.

Ahh, now I understand what you exactly meant by that comment.
But I wanted to learn bisect anyway, so this was a good occasion :)
Anyway, now it is confirmed, you're welcome!

As I'm new to Git, you might want to check how I checked:
git checkout 510ee090abc3dbc862bd35f5f3d8b7284a9117b4
Build, boot, I get the BUG.

Apply your debug patch, build, boot, and in dmesg can be seen:
reserve_memtype failed [mem 0xffff0000-0xffffffff], [s_mem 0xffff
0000-0xffffffffffffffff], type: uncached-minus
ioremap reserve_memtype failed -22
net5501: failed to get rombase

(first revert debug patch, then)
git revert 510ee090abc3dbc862bd35f5f3d8b7284a9117b4
Build, boot, it works.
Those 3 lines in dmesg are gone, the rest of the lines are the same.

Thanks,
Gert
