Subject: Re: ravb WoL interrupt flood

Hi Geert,

Thanks for the report. I did run a 200+ loop suspend/resume without 
issues so this error is probably hard to reproduce or something changed 
since v4.11-rc1 which if IIRC was the base I used to do the tests.

All I can think of is that if the interface was down at the time the 
system was suspend. There is a bug in  the driver which is in 
renesas-drivers related to that. But given that you woken up by WoL that 
is probably not the case :-)

I will do more tests and see if I can reproduce this once I'm back in 
Stockholm.
