This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled amd-xgbe: Stop the PHY before releasing interrupts to the 4.10-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: amd-xgbe-stop-the-phy-before-releasing-interrupts.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.10 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 Sat Mar 18 22:03:53 CST 2017 From: "Lendacky, Thomas" <Thomas.Lendacky@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 15:02:51 -0600 Subject: amd-xgbe: Stop the PHY before releasing interrupts From: "Lendacky, Thomas" <Thomas.Lendacky@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 402168b4c2dc0734b8fbd282eff77da0275c5129 ] Some configurations require the use of the hardware's MDIO support to communicate with external PHYs. The MDIO commands indicate completion through the device interrupt. When bringing down the device the interrupts were released before stopping the external PHY, resulting in MDIO command timeouts. Move the stopping of the PHY to before the releasing of the interrupts. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
