This is essentially a bug fix and can be applied to current version (v4.1) as well. The reason I thought of adding this to net-next is because the DTS patch set for enabling network driver on K2 devices is queued for v4.2. But this has no dependency on this DTS patch and hence can be applied to v4.1 as well if you are fine with it. Regards, -- Murali Karicheri Linux Kernel, Texas Instruments
