The old way to do LAN reset is sending reset command to firmware. Once firmware performs reset, it reconfigures what it needs. In the new firmware versions, veto bit is introduced for NCSI/LLDP to block PHY domain in LAN reset. At this point, writing register of LAN reset directly makes the same effect as the old way. And it does not reset MNG domain, so that veto bit does not change. Since veto bit was never used, the old firmware is compatible with the driver before and after this change. The new firmware needs to use with the driver after this change if it wants to implement the new feature, otherwise it is the same as the old firmware.

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.
