Yes sure, it took a while because I had to travel. Confirmed, the
v4-for-4.5 fix works well for me, on sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2:
root at lime2-079f:~# cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.5.0-598195-598196-v4 (root at lime2-079f) (gcc version
4.9.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) ) #1 SMP Wed Mar 16 16:44:22 UTC 2016
dmesg:
[ 8.245273] NET: Registered protocol family 10
[ 9.297406] RX IPC Checksum Offload disabled
[ 9.297460] No MAC Management Counters available
[ 9.297951] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[ 16.285658] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up -
1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
[ 16.285798] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
The board is connected to my laptop rather than to a switch, so that
might be where the flow control message comes from (not sure). Anyway
ethernet works.
I'm less familiar with linux-next - not sure what base to test against,
I understand it is being redefined almost daily.
Thanks!
