This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mvneta: use inband status only when explicitly enabled to the 4.2-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: mvneta-use-inband-status-only-when-explicitly-enabled.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Sep 30 05:25:07 CEST 2015 From: Stas Sergeev <stsp@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 17:49:58 -0700 Subject: mvneta: use inband status only when explicitly enabled From: Stas Sergeev <stsp@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f8af8e6eb95093d5ce5ebcc52bd1929b0433e172 in net-next tree, will be pushed to Linus very soon. ] The commit 898b2970e2c9 ("mvneta: implement SGMII-based in-band link state signaling") implemented the link parameters auto-negotiation unconditionally. Unfortunately it appears that some HW that implements SGMII protocol, doesn't generate the inband status, so it is not possible to auto-negotiate anything with such HW. This patch enables the auto-negotiation only if explicitly requested with the 'managed' DT property. This patch fixes the following regression: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/8/865 Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: David S.
