Re: [PATCH net-next v10 00/15] ax88179_178a: Add support for AX88179A-based chips

Hi Birger,

Thanks for your testing.

Using only

  if (link)
          phylink_mac_interrupt(data->phylink);

would be simpler, but it would also discard every hardware link-down
notification. I agree that we should leave the driver unchanged for now,
since I could not reproduce that event in a further 90 unmodified-v9
cycles, and your 1,000 v10 cycles also passed.

Please disregard my experimental patch. I will report again if I find a
reliable reproducer or evidence that identifies a specific driver problem.

Thanks,
Jianhui
