Triggering an asynchronous reset is problematic for the following reasons, therefore reset the chip synchronously. - The reset routine resets registers and parameters behind our back what may collide with code executed after triggering the reset. - __rtl8169_resume() is called as part of pm_runtime_get_sync() and callers expect that the chip is fully resumed afterwards. In context of this driver triggering an asynchonous reset should be considered an emergency procedure. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
