TEST REPORT: BROKEN PATCH

Thanks to everyone for working on the fixed link feature of lan743x eth driver.

I received more test hardware today, and one piece of hardware (EVBlan7430) becomes incompatible by the patch. We need to roll back for now. Sorry.

I’ll discuss about options of how to proceed in a second e-mail.

Thank you and best regards,
Roelof
