Ok! So the culprit is the commit:
  3559d81e76bf r8169: simplify rtl_hw_start_8169 (v4.18-rc1)
I guess the patch did not write registers in proper order.

Right! That's because the follow-up rpms both contain the culprit commit.

I'll be out of office tomorrow, I'd continue to work on it when I back to
office.
Many thanks for your testing and feedback!
