From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 70551dc46ffa3555a0b5f3545b0cd87ab67fd002 ] After the subdriver's remove() routine has completed, the card's layer mode is undetermined again. Reflect this in the layer2 field. If qeth_dev_layer2_store() hits an error after remove() was called, the card _always_ requires a setup(), even if the previous layer mode is requested again. But qeth_dev_layer2_store() bails out early if the requested layer mode still matches the current one. So unless we reset the layer2 field, re-probing the card back to its previous mode is currently not possible. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
