This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: dts: sunxi: Add a startup delay for fixed regulator enabled phys to the 4.4-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: arm-dts-sunxi-add-a-startup-delay-for-fixed-regulator-enabled-phys.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From fc51b632c7b047c25807023b76f3877aed19c770 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2016 12:58:39 +0200 Subject: ARM: dts: sunxi: Add a startup delay for fixed regulator enabled phys From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> commit fc51b632c7b047c25807023b76f3877aed19c770 upstream. It seems that recent kernels have a shorter timeout when scanning for ethernet phys causing us to hit a timeout on boards where the phy's regulator gets enabled just before scanning, which leads to non working ethernet. A 10ms startup delay seems to be enough to fix it, this commit adds a 20ms startup delay just to be safe. This has been tested on a sun4i-a10-a1000 and sun5i-a10s-wobo-i5 board, both of which have non-working ethernet on recent kernels without this fix.
