There is a reocurring issue with stmmac controllers where the MAC fails to initialize its hardware if an RX clock signal isn't provided on the MAC/PHY link. This causes issues when PHY or PCS devices either go into suspend while cutting the RX clock or do not bring the clock signal up early enough for the MAC to initialize successfully. Set the mac_requires_rxc flag in the stmmac phylink config so that PHY/PCS drivers know to keep the RX clock up at all times.

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 reStructuredText 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.
