Dear Simon Glass,
I could do, but halting is not in the driver at present. Do you think it is important?
Yes, it is important to shut down devices. Especially with USB devices.
...
So I think either halt should leave the link up, or we need a way to not call init/halt all the time.
And another note....'usb stop' will stop the device. So I feel that leaving the link up is OK in this case, and I believe this is the behavior of non-USB ethernet devices. I would prefer to leave halt() as a no-op.
Regards, Simon
