The idea was to keep only one reset at initialization stage in order to reduce the total delay, or the reset from usbnet_probe or the reset from usbnet_open. I have seen that restarting from usbnet_probe is necessary to avoid doing too complex things. But when the link is set to down/up (for example to configure a different mac address) the link is not correctly recovered unless a reset is commanded from usbnet_open. So, detect the initialization stage (first call) to not reset from usbnet_open after the reset from usbnet_probe and after this stage, always reset from usbnet_open too (when the link needs to be rechecked). Apply to all the possible devices, the behavior now is going to be the same. cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 6.6+ Fixes: 56f78615bcb1 ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid writing the mac address before first reading") Reported-by: Isaac Ganoung <inventor500@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Yongqin Liu <yongqin.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c b/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c index 377be0d9ef14..a0edb410f746 100644 --- a/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c +++ b/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c @@ -174,6 +174,7 @@ struct ax88179_data { u32 wol_supported;
