I hope you were able to enjoy your time off

in case of iperf3 traffic just stops

see below for my exact steps. let me know if you need more information
(but be prepared for some delay until I respond)
> - Is your setup multi-queue/channel?
we don't specify anything in the .dtsi files of our platform, so the
"default" is being used
> - Can you point me to the DT bindings of your setup?
in this specific case I used
arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-gxm-khadas-vim2.dts which inherits
the platform settings from arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-gx.dtsi
("ethmac" node)
so here's my exact steps to reproduce:
- boot the board
- IP address is auto-assigned via DHCP
- iperf3 -c 192.168.1.100
- wait until network breaks, CTRL+C
- ifconfig eth0 down
- ifconfig eth0 up
- (now Ethernet is working again)
from that point on:
