This is such a tricky and fragile area to get right, therefore I want you to specifically guard any change in how PHY reset is done with tests against the specific chips that have the problem. Furthermore, I want you to test whether this has any negative effects on the PHY loopback test. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
