Maybe if the firmware in the MAC-PHY crashes, burns, and a watchdog reset it, could it assert RESETC? I think maybe a WARN_ON_ONCE() for RESETC in the interrupt handler would be useful, but otherwise ignore it.

That might be a dumb question, i've not read the details for interrupt handling yet, but maybe there is another interrupt pending?

I could imagine RST_N is tied to the board global reset when the power supply is stable. Software reset is then used at probe time. So this could be a board design decision. I can see this code getting extended in the future, an optional gpiod passed to the core for it to use. > > msecs_to_jiffies(1)); > > Please also clarify - does the LAN8651 require up to 1ms "settle down" > (after reset) time before it gets operational again? If this is not part of the standard, it really should be in the MAC driver, or configurable, since different devices might need different delays. But ideally, if the status bit says it is good to go, i would really expect it to be good to go. So this probably should be a LAN8651 quirk. Andrew
