Hmmm....I made that change for a reason. Waiting for autonegotiation to finish on a tsec with no link was quite tiresome. If you've hooked up the 4th tsec, and try to boot, you end up waiting for *three* tsecs to timeout. If dhcp fails because the link isn't up you can always try again, or add a delay before dhcp starts so that the link is up.
I'm open to other suggestions, but I really don't want to go back to the old behavior.
Is there any way that you could do the auto-negotiation in parallel?
You definitely do not want to do that.
Requirement is NOT to initialize network interfaces unless used by U-Boot.
This would be in a case where the user *asks* for all the network interfaces to be used. How is it different than the current behavior of rotating on a timeout?
