Thanks *a lot* for fixing this one! I had the issue on my ReadyNAS 102
(Armada 370 based) which I had put on a todo list and temporarily
workarounded by including a 'ping whatever' call in my u-boot env in
order to force it to do the init. Without it, I was unable to properly
use the interface. With your fix, after multiple reboots to test it,
everything works as expected. So, FWIW:
