It looks more and more like we are stuck here (or was there progress and I just missed it?) while the 6.10 final is slowly getting closer. Hence: AngeloGioacchino, should we ask the net maintainers to revert 868ff5f4944aa9 ("net: dsa: mt7530-mdio: read PHY address of switch from device tree") for now to resolve this regression? Reminder, there is nothing wrong with that commit per se afaik, it just exposes a problem that needs to be fixed first before it can be reapplied. Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page. #regzbot poke
