Please see the bisection report below about a boot failure.

Reports aren't automatically sent to the public while we're
trialing new bisection features on kernelci.org but this one
looks valid.

It appears to be due to the fact that the network interface is
failing to get brought up:

[ 114.385000] Waiting up to 10 more seconds for network.
[ 124.355000] Sending DHCP requests ...#

timed out!
[ 212.355000] IP-Config: Reopening network devices...
[ 212.365000] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

I guess the board would boot fine without network if it didn't
have ip=dhcp in the command line, so it's not strictly a kernel
boot failure but still an ethernet issue.


I think the resolution of this issue is
99f81afc139c6edd14d77a91ee91685a414a1c66. If this is taken, then I think
f5aba91d7f186cba84af966a741a0346de603cd4 should also be backported.

Agreed.

Okay, I've queued both for 4.4, thanks!

f5aba91d7f1 had a little conflict with missing 2b2427d06426 ("phy:
micrel: Add ethtool statistics counters") but I've worked around that.
