Subject: Re: [PATCH net] tg3: Fix soft lockup when tg3_reset_task() fails.

Greetings, 
tg3 with kernel 5.4.69 is able to get into state, that its reseting
link forever. From mii-tools -w XXX I can see, that link is going up
and down every 3-8 seconds. 
Take down/up interface doesnt help.
However there is no any error in dmesg or anywhere else.

Tested kernel is not modular, only reboot helped.
NIC details are:
driver=tg3 driverversion=3.137 firmware=5720-v1.39 NCSI v1.5.1.0

Best regards
