As the commit message says, the hardware manual claims that any modifications to ECMR and GECMR registers, i.e. calls to ravb_set_duplex() and ravb_set_rate() from the modified ravb_adjust_link() function, has to be done when RX/TX is disabled (same ECMR register bit fields), the spinlock serializes interrupt handlers and modifications to ECMR contents, its previous usage for ethtool handlers was obviously wrong. The information is quite implicit, but the change emphasizes it. -- With best wishes, Vladimir
