Subject: ar71xx: add a workaround for ar8316 not always driving the TA bit to low
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03f91068d10bb74c2d292b2245fdf41c987eefdf;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fneocturne.git

ar71xx: add a workaround for ar8316 not always driving the TA bit to low

AR8316 behind a GPIO bitbanged MDIO bus fails to drive the turnaround bit
to low despite returning a valid value. Ignore it and just use the
returned value anyway.
