From 47b998653fea4ef69e3e89574956386f262bccca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Elwell Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 13:18:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] lan78xx: Don't reset the interface on open Commit 92571a1aae40 ("lan78xx: Connect phy early") moves the PHY initialisation into lan78xx_probe, but lan78xx_open subsequently calls lan78xx_reset. As well as forcing a second round of link negotiation, this reset frequently prevents the phy interrupt from being generated (even though the link is up), rendering the interface unusable. Fix this issue by removing the lan78xx_reset call from lan78xx_open. Fixes: 92571a1aae40 ("lan78xx: Connect phy early") Signed-off-by: Phil Elwell Signed-off-by: David S.
