Description Mace Moneta 2016-03-15 17:50:27 UTC
Description of problem:
Testing with kernel-4.5.0-300.fc24 on ARMv7 (Allwinner A20, PCDuino Nano Lite). Kernel boots, but when it gets to NIC initialization the system crashes hard.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.5.0-300.fc24

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot
2.
3.

Actual results:
Hard crash when network initialization starts

Expected results:
Network connects normally

Additional info:

The LKML discussion thread on this issue indicates a problematic commit made it into 4.5.0:

[PATCH v3 0/8] arm64: rockchip: Initial GeekBox enablement

Quoting:

Btw, I have rebased on top of 4.5 this morning and I have noticed that 
88f8b1bb41c6 ("stmmac: Fix 'eth0: No PHY found' regression") got in 
there, so I guess we have now a bunch of boards with broken network on 
that release :( 

Regards, 

Tomeu
