Vim2 ethernet problem with - mainline kernel

VIM2
21

This series from Marting Blumenstingl is the one that changed ethernet reset behaviour: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10997069/

Kernel maintainers will never knowingly break support for devices, but the kernel makes the assumption people are engaged in the open/public kernel development process. If people are not engaged; testing the proposed changes and providing feedback, the chance of a breaking or problem change being merged is higher. Khadas can help avoid future issues by subscribing to the linux-amlogic mailing list and becominig a proactive participant (and hopefully contributor).

@hyphop I guarantee there are bugs and mistakes in my code :slight_smile:

Neil is always busy so bug reports should always be sent to the mailing list. Then the person who caused the bug (in this case Martin) will also see the report.

Hi @hyphop,
I totally forgot the change martin did… and someone reported a similar issue on IRC without any news on the mailing either

But yeah mistakes are inevitable, but mailing lists are here to report these mistakes and fix them in the very long release candidate period.

Please don’t hesitate reporting issues, same for the eMMC SDIO issue you got, I have no time to check and reproduce for now, and it will be the same for multiple weeks, but other people can do it !
