Please apply upstream commit 8f56bc4dc101 ("ionic: start queues before
announcing link up") to 5.10.
When initially discussed, the implied race condition was still
theoretical. Since then, a case has been found to generate the race
issue and cause a failure to bring up the netdev interface by having the
device in a bond and the bond driver trying to bring up the device on
the netif_carrier_on() notification but before the queues have been started.
This should be applied to 5.10 stable.
Thanks,
