[4.15-rc4][regression][e1000e] - Device initialization appears broken/inconsistent

Hello kernel devs,

I'm encountering an issue with the e1000e driver. I can reproduce this by booting to Windows 10, reboot to Fedora and notice the device won't initialize.

If I reboot to Windows 10, then reboot to Linux the device initializes properly.

With a kernel.org rpm build of 4.15-rc1 I didn't encounter issues.

Fedora kernel is: 4.15.0-0.rc4.git1.2.fc28.x86_64

Any debug from the device I can provide which might show why initialization isn't being complete?

Thanks,
Shawn
