Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid writing the mac address before first reading

Hello Jakub,

My intention was to simplify it and reduce the delays, because two
consecutive resets were used at initialization, one from bind (the one
initially called during probe) and one from open.
Indeed my initial idea was to let the one from bind/probe only but reset
operation had to be removed from driver_info and that is the reason why 
the one from open was choosen.
But the one from bind/probe is better in order to avoid the commented
issue. Let me try with this in a second version.

Thank you again

Best regards
José Ignacio
