From 1452db764c279f8b329f1b3b9469bd01d9e21afd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cliff Clark Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:07:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ucc_geth: Intialize link state to down before register_netdev ucc_geth was indicating link up after a port is administratively enabled even when nothing is plugged in. This causes user-space tools to see a spurious link up the first time after boot. Signed-off-by: Cliff Clark Signed-off-by: David S.
