This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i40e: Fix overwriting flow control settings during driver loading to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: i40e-fix-overwriting-flow-control-settings-during-dr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2791a3cd3fa8bf04aa87e20beea915138e7eb29d Author: Mateusz Palczewski <mateusz.palczewski@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 24 15:08:27 2020 +0000 i40e: Fix overwriting flow control settings during driver loading [ Upstream commit 4cdb9f80dcd46aab3c0020b4a6920c22735c5d6e ] During driver loading flow control settings were written to FW using a variable which was always zero, since it was being set only by ethtool. This behavior has been corrected and driver no longer overwrites the default FW/NVM settings.
