Description of problem:

With recent builds (I am on microshift-4.12.0_20221206093532_239202f3-1.el8.x86_64), restarting microshift gives a variable number (usually 100+) copies of the following E level message which does not seem to be hurting anything.   I've seen up to 173 copies of the message for a restart in limited testing.
