Subject: [PATCH net] net: eth: altera: Change reset_mac failure message masks from err to dbg
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 10:47:45 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1423759665-5062-1-git-send-email-vbridger@opensource.altera.com> (raw)

This debug output is not really an error message since mac reset can fail
if the phy clocks are gated, specifically when the phy has been placed in
a powered down or isolation mode. The netdev output masks were changed from
err to dbg, and comments added in the code.
