Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] net: Change default delay on IP autoconfig to 0ms

From: David Ventura <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2024 11:03:04 +0100

Reduce the default settle time from 10ms to 0ms, based on previous discussions (
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email-masked]/t/
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email-masked]/
) ARP and DHCP retries are expected to handle any lost transmissions.

This patch depends on 1f0aa0c947eeb4edb60add141a5bc2309f2dc8dd ("
net: make driver settling time configurable").
