Hello,


for your information, the current version of the patch goes a bit too far,
as using the "usbnet_link_change" function in this context.
called from the "mac_link_up" or "mac_link_down" functions, works but
is not ideal.

With Oleksij's help, I have since been able to create a new patch
that specifically enables or disables only the RX URB submission.
I will submit the new patch as v2 of the current patch later today
or tomorrow at the latest.
I have completed testing of the new patch, and the results were positive.

PS: Sorry that I sent the first email in HTML format

Best regards
Markus

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main)

Commit e0bffe3e6894 ("net: asix: ax88772: migrate to phylink") replaced
the asix_adjust_link() PHY callback with phylink's mac_link_up() and
mac_link_down() handlers, but did not carry over the usbnet_link_change()
notification that commit 805206e66fab ("net: asix: fix "can't send until
first packet is send" issue") had added.

As a result, the original symptom returns: when the link comes up,
usbnet is never notified, so the RX URB submission stays dormant until
some other event (e.g. a transmitted packet triggering the status
endpoint interrupt) wakes it up.
