Subject: [PATCH] sh_eth: do not call netif_start_queue() from sh_eth_dev_init()

From: Sergei Shtylyov <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 01:09:53 +0300

Iff  sh_eth_phy_start() call fails in sh_eth_open(), the netif_start_queue()
call done by sh_eth_dev_init()  is not undone.  In order to deal with that,
stop calling netif_start_queue()  from there, so that it can be called only
when the device is fully opened and sh_eth_dev_init() only deals with the
hardware initialization, symmetrically to sh_eth_dev_exit()...

DaveM, I'm not sure whether it's a bug to leave TX queue started when the
device opening fails... anyway since  the 'net,git' repo is closed,  this
patch  is against your 'net-next.git' repo.
