Hmmm... I thought this was a bug in stmmac that was carried over to
ethtool_mmsv, but it looks like it isn't.
In fact, looking at the original refactoring patch I had attached in
this email:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241217002254.lyakuia32jbnva46@skbuf/
these 2 lines in ethtool_mmsv_link_state_handle() didn't exist at all.
} else {
>>>> mmsv->status = ETHTOOL_MM_VERIFY_STATUS_INITIAL;
>>>> mmsv->verify_retries = ETHTOOL_MM_MAX_VERIFY_RETRIES;
/* No link or pMAC not enabled */
ethtool_mmsv_configure_pmac(mmsv, false);
ethtool_mmsv_configure_tx(mmsv, false);
}
Faizal, could you remind me why they were added? I don't see this
explained in change logs.
