From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Ong Boon Leong <boon.leong.ong@xxxxxxxxx> commit 9a7b3950c7e15968e23d83be215e95ccc7c92a53 upstream. For Intel mGbE controller, MAC VLAN filter delete operation will time-out if serdes power-down sequence happened first during driver remove() with below message. [82294.764958] intel-eth-pci 0000:00:1e.4 eth2: stmmac_dvr_remove: removing driver [82294.778677] intel-eth-pci 0000:00:1e.4 eth2: Timeout accessing MAC_VLAN_Tag_Filter [82294.779997] intel-eth-pci 0000:00:1e.4 eth2: failed to kill vid 0081/0 [82294.947053] intel-eth-pci 0000:00:1d.2 eth1: stmmac_dvr_remove: removing driver [82295.002091] intel-eth-pci 0000:00:1d.1 eth0: stmmac_dvr_remove: removing driver Therefore, we delay the serdes power-down to be after unregister_netdev() which triggers the VLAN filter delete.
