Hi Jamie Does the system you are using suffer from Errata A011043? The change does however seem reasonable. Andrew

It's the HoneyComb SolidRun (LX2160A) and I can't find an errata list for that chip. It's booting from ACPI in any case so wouldn't have that workaround set. Thanks, Jamie

Let me upgrade it and see if I can reproduce it too. (also +CC Calvin)

MDIO reads can happen during PHY probing, and printing an error with dev_err can result in a large number of error messages during device probe. On a platform with a serial console this can result in excessively long boot times in a way that looks like an infinite loop when multiple busses are present. Since 0f183fd151c (net/fsl: enable extended scanning in xgmac_mdio) we perform more scanning so there are potentially more failures. Reduce the logging level to dev_dbg which is consistent with the Freescale enetc driver.
