This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ravb: Start TX queues after HW initialization succeeded 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: net-ravb-start-tx-queues-after-hw-initialization-suc.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 c4e211ca7d342d16bb3afe4df2e6c6c5d9bed395 Author: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 28 10:04:37 2023 +0200 net: ravb: Start TX queues after HW initialization succeeded [ Upstream commit 6f32c086602050fc11157adeafaa1c1eb393f0af ] ravb_phy_start() may fail. If that happens, the TX queues will remain started. Thus, move the netif_tx_start_all_queues() after PHY is successfully initialized.
