Note this is an old v5.10 kernel on ARM64.  No indication of whether
the problem occurs on a recent kernel.

We had an earlier issue with i210 when the disabled ROM BAR
overlapped BAR 3 [1] and the watchdog triggered:

  BAR 0: 0x40000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
  BAR 3: 0x40200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
  ROM:   0x40200000 (disabled) [size=1M]
  ...
  NETDEV WATCHDOG: enP2p1s0 (igb): transmit queue 0 timed out
  Hardware name: Kontron SMARC-sAL28 (Single PHY) on SMARC Eval 2.0 carrier (DT)
  igb 0002:01:00.0 enP2p1s0: Reset adapter

But this case looks different because there is no ROM BAR at all.

  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x18100000-0x1817ffff]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 3: assigned [mem 0x18180000-0x18183fff]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: assigned [io  0x1000-0x101f]
  ...
  igb 0000:01:00.0: Detected Tx Unit Hang
  NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1 (igb): transmit queue 1 timed out

I'm assuming this is a driver issue, not a PCI core issue.  But please
ping me if you think otherwise.
