Subject: [PATCH net-next] docs: 3c509: remove note about card detection failing with overclock
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 23:11:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260107071146.30083-1-enelsonmoore@gmail.com> (raw)
The id_read_eeprom() function has been fixed to use a time-based
delay, so this issue can no longer occur.
