This is _really_ confusing Robert.

Why having two 'From:' clauses ?

Who wrote the patch in the first place ? You or Grant ?



End result is :

commit 535baf8588d04b177cb33700f81499f2b5203c2d

    net: asix: autoneg will set WRITE_MEDIUM reg
    
    From: Grant Grundler <grundler@...omium.org>
    
    The miii_nway_restart() causes a PHY link change activity and
    ax88772_link_reset will be called. link_reset will set
    AX_CMD_WRITE_MEDIUM_MODE register correctly.
    
    The asix_write_medium_mode in reset() fills in a default value to the register
    which may be different from the negotiation result. So do this first.
    
    Ignore the ret value since it's ignored in XXX_link_reset() functions.

I guess Grant wrote the patch, but attribution is wrong.
