According to Documentation/driver-api/usb/URB.rst when a device
is unplugged usb_submit_urb() returns -ENODEV.
This error code propagates all the way up to usbnet_read_cmd() and
usbnet_write_cmd() calls inside the smsc95xx.c driver during
Ethernet cable unplug, unbind or reboot.
This causes the following errors to be shown on reboot, for example:
ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.1: remove, state 1
usb usb2: USB disconnect, device number 1
usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 2
usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 3
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: unregister 'smsc95xx' usb-ci_hdrc.1-1.1, smsc95xx USB 2.0 Ethernet
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: Failed to read reg index 0x00000114: -19
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: Error reading MII_ACCESS
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: __smsc95xx_mdio_read: MII is busy
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: Failed to read reg index 0x00000114: -19
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: Error reading MII_ACCESS
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: __smsc95xx_mdio_read: MII is busy
smsc95xx 2-1.1:1.0 eth1: hardware isn't capable of remote wakeup
usb 2-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 4
ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.1: USB bus 2 deregistered
ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.0: remove, state 4
usb usb1: USB disconnect, device number 1
ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.0: USB bus 1 deregistered
imx2-wdt 30280000.watchdog: Device shutdown: Expect reboot!
reboot: Restarting system
Ignore the -ENODEV errors inside __smsc95xx_mdio_read() and
__smsc95xx_phy_wait_not_busy() and do not print error messages
when -ENODEV is returned.

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.
