2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Tejun Heo commit 6489e3262e6b188a1a009b65e8a94b7aa17645b7 upstream. prereset doesn't bring link online if hardreset is about to happen and nv_hardreset() may skip if conditions are not right so softreset may be entered with non-working link status if the system firmware didn't bring it up before entering OS code which can happen during resume. This patch makes nv_hardreset() to bring up the link if it's skipping reset.
