Subject: Re: [EXT] [PATCH] net: atlantic: always deep reset on pm op, fixing null deref regression
With the proposed patch (deep parameter is always true), I've managed to test:
1. Hibernate/restore (with device down/up)
2. Suspend/resume (with device down/up)
I put the device down with the command:
sudo ip link set <connection> down
I hope that's correct, if not please let me know correct command.
Regards,
Jordan
