From 01649f43afb30df3c7450fd09c04a5a8ee6cb2c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Elwell Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2022 15:51:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: lan87xx: Decrease phy polling rate Polling at 100Hz for 1.5s consumes quite a bit of kworker time with no obvious benefit. Reduce that polling rate to ~6Hz. To further save CPU and power, defer the next poll if no energy is detected.
