[ Upstream commit 7c18b64bba3bcad1be94b404f47b94a04b91ce79 ]
With CONFIG_SLUB=y, following commit 6edf2576a6cc ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of kmalloc") mt7621 failed to boot very early, without showing any console messages. This exposed the pre-existing bug of mt7621.c using kzalloc before normal memory management was available. Prior to this slub change, there existed the unintended protection against "kmem_cache *s" being NULL as slab_pre_alloc_hook() happened to return NULL and bailed out of slab_alloc_node(). This allowed mt7621 prom_soc_init to fail in the soc_dev_init kzalloc, but continue booting without the SOC_BUS driver device registered.
Console output from a DEBUG_ZBOOT vmlinuz kernel loading, with mm/slub modified to warn on kmem_cache zero or null:

Allowing soc_device_register to work exposed oops in the mt7621 phy pci, and pci controller drivers from soc_device_match_attr, due to missing sentinels in the quirks tables. These were fixed with: commit 819b885cd886 ("phy: ralink: mt7621-pci: add sentinel to quirks table") not yet applied ("PCI: mt7621: add sentinel to quirks table")
