Re: [PATCH v2 00/11] fw_devlink improvements

[Maxim Kiselev <bigunclemax@gmail.com>]

Hi Saravana & Miquel.

Sorry for the long response. I finally got access to my test device
and tried this patch series.

And unfortunately it didn't solve my issue. I'm still getting a
hanging f1070000.ethernet dependency
from the nvmem-cell mac@6 subnode.

Here are related parts of my kernel log and device tree:

    };


Maybe I should provide some additional debug info?
