commit ecf848eb934b03959918f5269f64c0e52bc23998 upstream. The idea was to keep only one reset at initialization stage in order to reduce the total delay, or the reset from usbnet_probe or the reset from usbnet_open. I have seen that restarting from usbnet_probe is necessary to avoid doing too complex things. But when the link is set to down/up (for example to configure a different mac address) the link is not correctly recovered unless a reset is commanded from usbnet_open. So, detect the initialization stage (first call) to not reset from usbnet_open after the reset from usbnet_probe and after this stage, always reset from usbnet_open too (when the link needs to be rechecked). Apply to all the possible devices, the behavior now is going to be the same. cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.6+ Fixes: 56f78615bcb1 ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid writing the mac address before first reading") Reported-by: Isaac Ganoung <inventor500@vivaldi.net> Reported-by: Yongqin Liu <yongqin.liu@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240510090846.328201-1-jtornosm@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
