From: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Integrate the SD library calls into the auxiliary_driver ops in preparation for creating a single netdev for the multiple devices belonging to the same SD group. SD is still disabled at this stage. It is enabled by a downstream patch when all needed parts are implemented. The netdev is created only when the SD group, with all its participants, are ready. It is later destroyed if any of the participating devices drops. Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Gal Pressman <redacted> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> ---Hi Tariq, Currently when booting the kernel against next-master(next-20240108) with Arm64 on Marvell Thunder X2 (TX2), the kernel is failing to probe the network card which is resulting in boot failures for our CI (with rootfs over NFS). I can send the full logs if required. Most other boards seem fine. A bisect (full log below) identified this patch as introducing the failure. Bisected it on the tag "mlx5-updates-2023-12-20" at repo "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux.git/". This works fine on Linux 6.7-rc5
Thanks Aishwarya! We just stumbled upon this internally as well, I assume you are using a (very) old firmware version? If it's the same issue we should have a fix coming soon.
