[ Upstream commit c1a797c0818e0122c7ec8422edd971cfec9b15ea ] When it is requested to change its physical state back to Offline while in the process to go up, DC8051 will set the ERROR field in the DC8051_DBG_ERR_INFO_SET_BY_8051 register. This ERROR field will remain until the next time when DC8051 transitions from Offline to Polling. Subsequently, when the host requests DC8051 to change its physical state to Polling again, it may receive a DC8051 interrupt with the stale ERROR field still in DC8051_DBG_ERR_INFO_SET_BY_8051. If the host link state has been changed to Polling, this stale ERROR will force the host to transition to Offline state, resulting in a vicious cycle of Polling ->Offline->Polling->Offline. On the other hand, if the host link state is still Offline when the stale ERROR is received, the stale ERROR will be ignored, and the link will come up correctly. This patch implements the correct behavior by changing host link state to Polling only after DC8051 changes its physical state to Polling.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
