Subject: [PATCH] gianfar: Don't reset TBI<->SerDes link if it's already up
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:23:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1222287839-6545-1-git-send-email-tpiepho@freescale.com> (raw)

The link may be up already via the chip's reset strapping, or though action
of U-Boot, or from the last time the interface was brought up.  Resetting
the link causes it to go down for several seconds.  This can significantly
increase the time from power-on to DHCP completion and a device being
accessible to the network.
