Hi David, Jakub,
given where we are in the release cycle, I think it'd be best to revert
commit 9c63faaa931e ("net: stmmac: re-init rx buffers when mac resume
back") for now.
To summarize the discussion: the patch was meant as a workaround to fix
an occasional suspend/resume failure on one board that was not fully
root caused, and ends up causing fully reproducible suspend/resume
failures on at least one other board.
Joakim is looking at an alternative solution and Jon and I can provide
testing from the Tegra side for any fixes.
Do you want me to send a revert patch or can you revert directly on top
of your tree?
Thanks,
Thierry
