Kernel 4.0-1 kikwood-dt network does not come up NSA310

[marlemion]

Hi, thanks for pushing the new kernel version. However, the network driver r8619 seems to be problematic. My current setup: NSA310, stock u-boot, kernel 3.19 dt with appended dts file (nsa310a). It runs very nicely.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'dmesg | grep r8
[ 1.322210] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
[ 1.334381] r8169 0000:01:00.0 eth0: RTL8168d/8111d at 0xd096c000, fc:f5:28:76:b4:e5, XID 083000c0 IRQ 83

[ 8.214197] r8169 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: renamed from eth0')

When I upgraded to 4.0-1, the network does not come up (yellow led blinking instead of green) and the console is flooded with:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'r8169: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). ')

dmesg output is the same as for the 3.19 kernel. For now, I reverted back to 3.19 and everything works out of the box again.

Tested with both dhcpcd and systemd-networkd. If neither of them is loaded, the console is not flooded with the messages.

uboot is stock from Marvell.

I saw some changes in the kernel for the rtl8169 driver recently (after the 3.19 flag). Thus, it might be related to that. How to report that in an appropriate way?

For now keep the 3.19 kernel I guess. Report kernel bugs to https://bugzilla.kernel.org
