Subject: [PATCH] net: bcmgenet: Workaround #2 for Pi4 Ethernet fail
Some combinations of Pi 4Bs and Ethernet switches don't reliably get a
DCHP-assigned IP address, leaving the unit with a self=assigned 169.254
address. In the failure case, the Pi is left able to receive packets
but not send them, suggesting that the MAC<->PHY link is getting into
a bad state.
It has been found empirically that skipping a reset step by the genet
driver prevents the failures. No downsides have been discovered yet,
and unlike the forced renegotiation it doesn't increase the time to
get an IP address, so the workaround is enabled by default; add
genet.skip_umac_reset=n
to the command line to disable it.
See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3108
