Last time [1], Saravana suggested to move this to the end of the series to avoid such problems. FWIW, I just tried booting a LS1046A with the following patches applied 01/11 (compatibles) 05/11 (device) 08/11 (link) 09/11 (consumer) =================== ============== ============ ================ Y N Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y N and all interfaces probed each time.
