I have a Dell Precision 7560, with this issue. I just installed the proposed 5.10.0-1041 oem kernel package for testing.

While it did fix the boot issue, the e1000e driver is failing and I cannot use the wired network interface.

Here is the dmesg output of `modprobe e1000e`:

[ 293.106059] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver

Previously I was working around the e1000e NVM issues by building the e1000e module from the 3.8.7 source package from sourceforge. Applying the patches from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213667 to the 5.10.1038-oem kernel source and re-building the e1000e module also solved the issue.
