-Subject: [PATCH 294/297] lan78xx: Don't reset the interface on open
-
-With Alexander Graf's patch ("lan78xx: Connect phy early") applied,
-the call to lan78xx_reset within lan78xx_open prevents the phy
-interrupt from being generated (even though the link is up).
-
-Avoid this issue by removing the lan78xx_reset call.
