Currently the link status auto-negotiation is enabled for any SGMII link with fixed-link DT binding. The regression was reported: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/8/865 Apparently not all HW that implements SGMII protocol, generates the inband status for the auto-negotiation to work. The following patches reverts to the old behavior by default, which is to not enable the auto-negotiation for fixed-link. The new DT property is added that allows to explicitly request the auto-negotiation. Those who were affected by the change, please send your Tested-by, Thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
