fec_restart() does a hard reset of the MAC module when the link status changes to up. This temporarily resets the R_CNTRL register which controls the MII mode of the ENET_OUT clock. In the case of RMII, the clock frequency momentarily drops from 50MHz to 25MHz until the register is reconfigured. Some link partners do not tolerate this glitch and invalidate the link causing failure to establish a stable link when using PHY polling mode. Since as per IEEE802.3 the criteria for link validity are PHY-specific, what the partner should tolerate cannot be assumed, so avoid resetting the MII clock by using software reset instead of hardware reset when the link is up. This is generally relevant only if the SoC provides the clock to an external PHY and the PHY is configured for RMII.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
