linux-armv7-5.19.8-1 no ethernet on odroid xu4

[karog]

I have been successfully running linux-armv7-5.19.7-1 on my odroid xu4. Today a system upgrade offered linux-armv7-5.19.8-1 so I installed it. It boots but has no ethernet. I will also note that 5.19.8-1 runs fine on my odroid n2.

I looked at the serial output during boot of both versions.

On 5.19.7-1 I see
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ 10.108559] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8152
[ 10.136960] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
[ 10.193106] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8153_ecm
...
[ 10.299271] usb 6-1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci-hcd
[ 10.383831] r8152 6-1:1.0: load rtl8153a-3 v2 02/07/20 successfully
[ 10.434369] r8152 6-1:1.0 eth0: v1.12.13
')
but on 5.19.8-1 I see none of the same drivers registered and the closest lines to above I see are
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ 8.234186] usb usb6-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
[ 12.310150] usb usb6-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
')
Notice usb 6-1 referenced in 5.19.7-1 above and usb6-port1 in 5.19.8-1.

I also looked in linux-armv7-5.19.8-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz and see
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
usr/lib/modules/5.19.8-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.ko.gz
usr/lib/modules/5.19.8-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/usb/r8152.ko.gz
usr/lib/modules/5.19.8-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/usb/r8153_ecm.ko.gz
')
so the drivers are there but not loading. I don't know why. Downgrading works.

Can anybody help?

I think this issue is related:

Kernel 5.19.8 does not work on Odroid HC1

- can ping device by its IP but not by its hostname after boot
- cannot login via ssh neither by name nor by IP (connection refused)
- connected SSD does not seem to get mounted (green LED does not blink on boot)

As I do not have access to the device I unfortunately cannot share any logs.

Downgrading to 5.19.6 solves the issue for the moment.
