Hi Florian, I have observed what appears to be a regression in the ravb ethernet driver caused by d5c3d84657db ("net: phy: Avoid polling PHY with PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPTS"). When booting net-next configured with the ARM64 defconfig on the Renesas r8a7795/salvator-x I see the following and the ravb is unable to access the network. With the above mentioned patch reverted I am able to boot to user-space using nfsroot.
