Also fix the LRE Status register reading, there is another bit to be ignored on bcm54811.I'm a bit lost why the first 3 patches are included in a series for net. My naive reading is we didn't support this extra mode, now we do, which sounds like a new feature.. Patch 4, sure, but the dependency is not obvious.
I don't see the dependency either, at least not in an explicit way. Kamil, could patch #4 stand on its own and routed through "net" while patches 1-3 are routed through "net-next"?
