Hi Dan,

net-next is currently closed, other than for bug fixes.
So please repost this once it re-opens, after v6.12-rc1 is released.

Yes, I agree.

I tend to think that is a bug. Though perhaps
there is no urgency in fixing it as it seems unlikely
to occur in practice and it seems to date back to when the
driver was added in 2018 / v4.17.

commit 23f0703c125b ("lan743x: Add main source files for new lan743x driver")
