Hi Peppe,

with that patch I don't see any difference at all in my setup.

So to be clear, with these commits on top of next-20160314, I still
get the hang during boot:

209afef6f0cd ARM: dts: rockchip: Add mdio node to ethernet node
2315acc6cf7f Revert "stmmac: first frame prep at the end of xmit routine"

Maybe get your tree in kernelci.org? I'm not sure if it's currently
doing any nfsroot boots, though.
