From 8e346e1594bab6c06b6b4d2938c881729b03041d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Fainelli Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:39:04 -0700 Subject: net: phy: bcm7xxx: workaround MDIO management controller initial read The initial MDIO read or write towards the BCM7xxx integrated PHY may fail, workaround this by inserting a dummy MII_BMSR read to force the MDIO management controller to see at least one valid transaction and get out of stuck state out of reset.
