Subject: [regression] r8169 without realtek_phy
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 11:33:06 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9fde169119652baae87d6a0f40e0ccd70e428ea8.camel@gmail.com> (raw)

There is network regression for me. 4.18 was good. 4.18+ is bad. There
was some phy changes in r8169 driver. Fortunately adding
CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY=m to kernel config fixed the regression. 

Should r8169 depend on realtek_phy? Does that breaks something else?

Network doesn't work with Generic PHY (output of dmesg)
Generic PHY r8169-300:00: attached PHY driver [Generic PHY]
(mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-300:00, irq=IGNORE)

When realtek_phy is compiled, r8169 automatically uses it.
RTL8211B Gigabit Ethernet r8169-300:00: attached PHY driver [RTL8211B
Gigabit Ethernet] (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-300:00, irq=IGNORE)
