Hi Alexander,
After applying this patch (3/5) along with the preceding ones on top of
net-next, I got some WARNING splats when changing the admin state
(up/down) using the ip link command. [1, 2]
Since I haven't looked into this series in detail, I'm reporting the
splats anyway.
I'm wondering why I haven't seen anyone report this type of issue up to
v3. Maybe there is something wrong with my setup or devices?
Device: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-XXV for SFP (rev 02)
