I would like to get some feedback on this from Marcel, since he added this stuff.
Yes, sorry. I just came back from vacation and started looking into it now. As far as I remember on our hardware without this Ethernet did not quite work reliably. This also means that with driver model so far it does not work for us which I fed back to Simon once but so far this has not been resolved. That fix came from some early U-Boot work done by Antmicro way back and I am missing some of the history.
Then I'll do a new patch that just fix the driver model receive path.
Hold on. Marcel, can you maybe test if removing this code has any impact on the behavior now ?
Sorry for the delay. I tested Alban's patch now both on Toradex Colibri T20 as well as T30 and its on-module ASIX USB-to-Ethernet chip actually works perfectly aside from the occasional EHCI timed out on TD - token=0x88008d80 Rx: failed to receive: -5 message which last I checked with Simon is still unresolved but was already there long before any of the driver model work started.

Will this be applied for the upcoming release?
