Hi,

After the merge of 5.15.y into net-next, MT7621 ethernet
(mtk_eth_soc.c) does not get probed at all.

Kernel log before 5.15 merge:
...
libphy: Fixed MDIO Bus: probed
libphy: mdio: probed
mt7530 mdio-bus:1f: MT7530 adapts as multi-chip module
mtk_soc_eth 1e100000.ethernet eth0: mediatek frame engine at 0xbe100000, irq 20
mt7621-pci 1e140000.pcie: host bridge /pcie@1e140000 ranges:
...

Kernel log after 5.15 merge:
...
libphy: Fixed MDIO Bus: probed
mt7621-pci 1e140000.pcie: host bridge /pcie@1e140000 ranges:
...


I tried adding debug prints into the .mtk_probe function, but it did
not execute.
There are no dts changes for MT7621 between 5.14 and 5.15, so I
believe it should be something else.

Any ideas?

I had time to create a new image for my gnubee board using kernel 5.15
and this problem does not exist on my side. Since no more mails have
come for a while I guess this was a problem from your configuration,
but just in case I preferred to answer to let you know. I am currently
using v5.15.7 from linux-stable with some other patches that will be
for 5.16. Just in case, you can check the kernel tree [0] I am
currently using.

There is problem with reset controller and devlink commutication. reset
controller is abent in mainline, devlink defer all drivers which use reset
lines until reset-controller become available - so no drivers probed.
I'm create for myself this patch:
