Pull "Renesas ARM Based SoC Fixes for v4.15" from Simon Horman: Vladimir Zapolskiy says: The present change is a bug fix for AVB link iteratively up/down. Steps to reproduce: - start AVB TX stream (Using aplay via MSE), - disconnect+reconnect the eth cable, - after a reconnection the eth connection goes iteratively up/down without user interaction, - this may heal after some seconds or even stay for minutes. As the documentation specifies, the "renesas,no-ether-link" option should be used when a board does not provide a proper AVB_LINK signal. There is no need for this option enabled on RCAR H3/M3 Salvator-X/XS and ULCB starter kits since the AVB_LINK is correctly handled by HW. Choosing to keep or remove the "renesas,no-ether-link" option will have impact on the code flow in the following ways: - keeping this option enabled may lead to unexpected behavior since the RX & TX are enabled/disabled directly from adjust_link function without any HW interrogation, - removing this option, the RX & TX will only be enabled/disabled after HW interrogation. The HW check is made through the LMON pin in PSR register which specifies AVB_LINK signal value (0 - at low level; 1 - at high level). In conclusion, the change is also a safety improvement because it removes the "renesas,no-ether-link" option leading to a proper way of detecting the link state based on HW interrogation and not on software heuristic. Note that DTS files for V3M Starter Kit, Draak and Eagle boards contain the same property, the files are untouched due to unavailable schematics to verify if the fix applies to these boards as well. * tag 'renesas-fixes-for-v4.15' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/horms/renesas: arm64: dts: renesas: ulcb: Remove renesas, no-ether-link property arm64: dts: renesas: salvator-x: Remove renesas, no-ether-link property
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
