System hangs during boot, When the Intel E810 NIC driver is used to create bonding.

[Vinay HM]

Description:
On a Dell EMC PE system configured with Intel E810 card installed with Ubuntu 22.04.2.
When bonding is enabled on the server, the system will hang at the initialization of OS.
The kernel loads, but the system hang around the time it starts the Network Services by reporting below messages.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure Dell EMC PE system with Intel E-810 NIC.
2. Install Ubuntu 22.04.2 and boot into OS.
3. Create a bonding interface by editing netplan configuration file as below.
bonds:
    bond0:
      dhcp4: true
      interfaces: [enp209s0f0, enp209s0f1]
      parameters:
        mode: active-backup
Where [enp209s0f0, enp209s0f1] are Intel E-810 Interfaces.
4. Execute #Netplan apply and reboot the system.

This is impacting us too, and we found that there was no issue in the 5.15.0-67 kernel, but the issue is present in 5.15.0-69. Building and installing the 1.10.1.2.2 ice driver from Intel prior to running 'netplan apply' seems to prevent the hang.

We had the same issue with kernel 5.19.0-40, works fine with 5.19.0-38 on HPE servers with E810-C NIC.
