  I see ddb report about panic, but it's all. Keyboard doesn't work, and panic occurs before any disks are detected, so there is no space for crash dump.

  Yep, but console is dead & there are no disks for crash dump at this stage.

  Yep, smoke tests for module (without inversion!) pass: I could mount R/W SD card with release image, mount FS, read and write files, unmount FS and eject card without panics and errors. I didn't try any high-load tests, though.

  It is "pretty common" (but old) Lenovo ThinkPad T540p. I could provide remote access to it, but it will not help for such low-level and early panic :-(
