At boot it uses bridge.
For the test, I delete bridge and set IP address directly on eth0

root@OpenWrt:/# ifconfig br-lan down
br-lan: port 1(eth0) entering forwarding state

root@OpenWrt:/# brctl delbr br-lan
device eth0 left promiscuous mode
br-lan: port 1(eth0) entering disabled state

What is a bit strange here is that I don't any more the KERN_CRIT printk
message.
Could be a false positive ?

I'm currently compiling new kernel with your last patch. will keep you
