3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0da70f808029476001109b6cb076737bc04cea2e upstream. macb_reset_hw() is called from macb_close() and indirectly from macb_open(). macb_reset_hw() zeroes the NCR register, including the MPE (Management Port Enable) bit. This will prevent accessing any other PHYs for other Ethernet MACs on the MDIO bus, which remains registered at macb_reset_hw() time, until macb_init_hw() is called from macb_open() which sets the MPE bit again. I.e. currently the MDIO bus has a short disruption at open time and is disabled at close time until the interface is opened again. Fix that by only touching the RE and TE bits when enabling and disabling RX/TX. v2: Make macb_init_hw() NCR write a single statement.
