Hi James,

My plan is to continue working on this series (the code is available in [0]),
I am just waiting other patches to be merged upstream before reposting in order
to avoid any conflict. I guess it is correct to publicly ask before posting
other people patches.
Moreover, this is thecnically a fix so this seires should targed net tree.

Regards,
Lorenzo

> DMA stopped until replay succeeds. These changes do not depend on
> the later datapath recovery series.

> Changes in v4:
> - Omit the merged PTP initialization patch and adapt the remaining
>   changes to probe-time PTP locking and current TAPRIO error handling.
> - Separate schedule validation/rollback from open and resume replay.
> - Reuse the base-time helper for replacement, PHC adjustment and
>   rollback; propagate errors while preserving the installed cache.
> - Start DMA only after the installed schedule has been restored.
> - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260902-stmmac-est-reapply-after-open-v3-0-e72a6df5a7ef@oss.qualcomm.com
> 
> Changes in v3:
> - Guard priv->est.enable update using est_lock mutex.
> - Embed stmmac_est in stmmac_priv struct.
> - Rework locking in tc_taprio_configure().
> - Fix possible divided by zero crash in tc_taprio_configure().
> - Add missing reconfiguration during stmmac_resume().
> - Honor ptp error code in __stmmac_open() and stmmac_resume().
> - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260829-stmmac-est-reapply-after-open-v2-1-5e5ccb185e92@oss.qualcomm.com
> 
> Changes in v2:
> - Rename stmmac_est_reconfigure() in stmmac_setup_est().
> - Rely on stmmac_setup_est() in tc_taprio_configure().
> - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260825-stmmac-est-reapply-after-open-v1-1-dfa80735e0a1@oss.qualcomm.com
