Besides the broken tinderbox, you did not connected the igb module to
the module build. Is this intentional ?



No, not intentional, both issues are now fixed, sorry, was tired yesterday

Is it still true that support for the 575 moved from em to igb? If so,
please put an entry in src/UPDATING about it and ask the re/docs team to
make sure it's documented in the next release notes.
