Re: Commit 'r8152: fix a WOL issue' makes Ethernet port on Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 dock go crazy

Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.

Quick note before the boilerplate: there is another report about issues
caused by cdf0b86b250fd3 also involving a dock, but apparently it's
ignored so far:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216333

Anyway, moving on:

[TLDR: I'm adding this regression report to the list of tracked
regressions; all text from me you find below is based on a few templates
paragraphs you might have encountered already already in similar form.]

CCing the regression mailing list, as it should be in the loop for all
regressions, as explained here:

Thanks for the report. To be sure below issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, my Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced cdf0b86b250fd3c1c3e120c86583ea510c52e4ce
#regzbot title net: r8152: ehernet port on Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 dock
goes crazy
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply -- ideally with also
telling regzbot about it, as explained here:
https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/tracked-regression/

Reminder for developers: When fixing the issue, add 'Link:' tags
pointing to the report (the mail this one replies to), as explained for
in the Linux kernel's documentation; above webpage explains why this is
important for tracked regressions.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
