VGV7510KW22 / o2 Box 6431

Software versions:
OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r5944-ad4232e
Linux version 4.9.77 (buildbot at slashdirt-03) (gcc version 5.5.0 (OpenWrt GCC 5.5.0 r5944-ad4232e) ) #0 SMP Thu Jan 25 10:00:48 2018
SoC: xRX200 rev 1.2
The same problem also happens with LEDE 17.04

Steps to reproduce:
Sometimes, the box spuriously reboots. Time between spurious reboots varies between 12 hours and 2 weeks. After such a spurious reboot, some ethernet ports no longer work. Remote syslog via UDP does not log any error messages before a spurious reboot. Sometimes, ethernet ports stop working without a previous spurious reboot, but that's pretty rare (once a month).

Workaround:
Perform a manual reboot after the spurious reboot. This fixes the ethernet link malfunctioning. It does not help with the spurious reboots, though.

Possibly relevant diff between a clean reboot dmesg and a spurious reboot dmesg:
