Simon,

Something in the latest u-boot-dm/master branch breaks PCI or Ethernet on Jeton TK1 and 
TX1. I don't know which patch it is. test/py's ping test simply fails due to lack of any 
Ethernet adapter. I don't see any errors during either boot or the network test setup 
scripts, which include "pci enum":

TK1 (built-in RTL8169 PCI Ethernet):
Tegra124 (Jetson TK1) # ping $serverip
No ethernet found.
ping failed; host 192.168.100.1 is not alive

I also retested u-boot/master to make sure there's no test system 
infrastructure issue (that branch passes), and re-ran the failing test 3 times 
on TK1 with identical results. Other Tegra boards that I test all seem fine, at 
least as far as passing test/py.

P.S. I'll be away next week and the week after. Tom Warren may be able to 
monitor the test system emails, but I don't think I've set him up with access 
to e.g. retrigger tests etc.; perhaps I should look into that...

As mentioned elsewhere that error (failing to power on PHY) happens
for me always on my TK1 (and has for about a year) because it seems to
have a broken PMIC. I do have a TX1 somewhere but cannot find it
despite much searching.

I'm very puzzled that you claim your TK1 always has this issue; this issue is clearly not present in mainline U-Boot (unless it's very intermittent and my test system has got lucky, but it's very reproducible so I don't think so), and I don't believe there's anything in the the PMIC that can be altered permanently; the boot configuration is in OTP (One Time Programmable) memory (fuses?) and can't be changed. Are you absolutely 100% sure that you cleanly replaced your development version of U-Boot correctly and tested with a 100% unmodified mainline U-Boot? Also, please try (a) flashing unmodified mainline U-Boot (b) disconnecting EVERY cable from the TK1 and leaving it that way for 10 minutes to drain any capacitors (or perhaps even overnight) (c) powering up to see if any problems still exist.

Obviously I chose Tegra for the livetree work based on Nyan which I
have and which is quick to develop on. I am beginning to regret this
because:

- No one at Nvidia appears to be maintaining the code at present -
e.g. DM enablement, Kconfig versions

Well, the existing code works perfectly. There's no need to change it. If you want to change it, that's fine, but you must take on the job of validating your changes and fixing any issues they introduce. It's not reasonable to introduce changes that break things and then try and push forward with them even in the face of known breakage caused by those changes. It's not reasonable to create patches that introduce problems and then expect others to do the work of debugging and fixing them.

- The test report you provides is a signal, but it is not actionable for me

Why is it not actionable? You possess hardware that will reproduce the change (your TX1 board even if not the TK1 system). The test system source is checked into the U-Boot source tree and available to you, although I believe that simply running "pci enum; dhcp Image" should reproduce the problem so it's even simpler than running test/py.

- As above due to broken/lost boards I am not able to test as well as
I originally thought

Perhaps you should only modify the boards you can test? You mentioned that Nyan works for you. If so, limit the modifications to the boards/drivers/features you have available.

Is there any way someone at Nvidia could jump into this and work on
bringing mainline up to scratch?

If anyone can, it'd be Tom Warren.

P.S. I'm on vacation for the next 2 weeks, so won't be able to respond further for a while.
