The problem is in this flow: 1) Port is enabled, queueid != 0, in qomlist 2) Port gets disabled -> teamportdisable() -> teamqueueoverrideportdel() -> del (removed from list) 3) Port is disabled, queueid != 0, not in any list 4) Priority changes -> teamqueueoverrideportpriochanged() -> checks: port disabled && queueid != 0 -> calls del - hits the BUG as it is removed already

To fix this, change the check in teamqueueoverrideportpriochanged() so it returns early if port is not enabled.
