Hi David + stable@,
Please could these two be backported:
3cc81d85ee01 "asix: Don't reset PHY on if_up for ASIX 88772"
436c2a5036b6 "asix: Do full reset during ax88772_bind"
3cc81d85ee01 was in v3.18-rc1 while 436c2a5036b6 was in v3.18-rc5 so both
should be backported to anything older which still has active longterm
support, please.
Our automated test is occasionally tripping over a failure to achieve link
on the arndale board with 3.16 (both the Debian Jessie kernel used at host
install time and the 3.16 kernel under test), reporting lots of this:

It appears that we no longer see this in 3.18 (although they still use
Debian's 3.16 at install time, which obscures things a little in the data
mining). These are the only commits to this driver between 3.16 and 3.18
and they sound like they might plausibly fix this.
Thanks,
Ian.

asix: Don't reset PHY on if_up for ASIX 88772
I've noticed every time the interface is set to 'up,', the kernel
reports that the link speed is set to 100 Mbps/Full Duplex, even
when ethtool is used to set autonegotiation to 'off', half
duplex, 10 Mbps.
It can be tested by:
ifconfig eth0 down
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex half
ifconfig eth0 up
Then checking 'dmesg' for the link speed.

asix: Do full reset during ax88772_bind
commit 3cc81d85ee01 ("asix: Don't reset PHY on if_up for ASIX 88772")
causes the ethernet on Arndale to no longer function. This appears to
be because the Arndale ethernet requires a full reset before it will
function correctly, however simply reverting the above patch causes
problems with ethtool settings getting reset.
It seems the problem is that the ethernet is not properly reset during
bind, and indeed the code in ax88772_bind that resets the device is a
very small subset of the actual ax88772_reset function. This patch uses
ax88772_reset in place of the existing reset code in ax88772_bind which
removes some code duplication and fixes the ethernet on Arndale.
It is still possible that the original patch causes some issues with
suspend and resume but that seems like a separate issue and I haven't
had a chance to test that yet.
