Hi Naresh,

the configuration is based on aspeed_g5_defconfig (see attached configuration file)
and the following qemu command line (qemu v5.2):

qemu-system-arm -M romulus-bmc -kernel \
	arch/arm/boot/zImage -no-reboot \
	-initrd rootfs-armv5.cpio -nic user -nodefaults \
	--append "panic=-1 slub_debug=FZPUA rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS4,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x1e784000,115200n8" \
	-dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-romulus.dtb \
	-nographic -monitor null -serial stdio

It also happens with other bmc platforms using the same network interface, though
it is for some reason more prevalent on romulus-bmc.

The root file system is generated with buildroot. See buildone.sh / buildall.sh
in branch local-2021.02 of git@xxxxxxxxxx:groeck/buildroot.git. The warning happens
with almost every boot; the crash in maybe one of 5-10 boots. The test, if you want
to call it that, uses udhcpc to get an IP address and then

net_test_successful=0
ifconfig eth0 2>/dev/null | grep -q "inet addr:10.0.2.15"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    ping -q -c 1 -s 1000 -W 1 -I eth0 10.0.2.2 >/dev/null
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
	telnet 10.0.2.2:22 </dev/null >/dev/null 2>dev/null
	if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
	    net_test_successful=1
	fi
    fi
fi

See package/busybox/run.sh in the above repository/branch.
