Dear Jon ,

We can reproduce your issue on x86 Linux kernel 4.9.0-rc system in our site
and modified the following code can fix this issue. Please let us know if
you still have problems. Thanks a lot.

static void ax88772_suspend(struct usbnet *dev)
{
struct asix_common_private *priv = dev->driver_priv;
u16 medium;

/* Stop MAC operation */
- medium = asix_read_medium_status(dev, 0);
+ medium = asix_read_medium_status(dev, 1);
medium &= ~AX_MEDIUM_RE;
- asix_write_medium_mode(dev, medium, 0);
+ asix_write_medium_mode(dev, medium, 1);

netdev_dbg(dev->net, "ax88772_suspend: medium=0x%04x\n",
- asix_read_medium_status(dev, 0));
+ asix_read_medium_status(dev, 1));

/* Preserve BMCR for restoring */
priv->presvd_phy_bmcr =
asix_mdio_read_nopm(dev->net, dev->mii.phy_id, MII_BMCR);

/* Preserve ANAR for restoring */
priv->presvd_phy_advertise =
asix_mdio_read_nopm(dev->net, dev->mii.phy_id,
MII_ADVERTISE);
}

In an attempt to isolate if this is a Tegra issue or not, I recompiled
v4.9-rc6 for x86 and I was able to reproduce the problem on my desktop ...

To reproduce this, I did the following:

1. Connect the asix device and noted the net interface (ie. eth2) 2.
Disabled the interface (ie. sudo ifconfig eth2 down) 3. Ran a suspend-resume
cycle using rtcwake (eg. sudo rtcwake -d rtc0 -m mem -s 5)

Cheers
Jon
