SubjectRe: i.MX28 based system losing eth0 on boot
Moving forward to 3.15.0-rc4 merged with Russell's FEC patches makes it much
more noisy (http://pastebin.com/17TyyMPn):

I can go back and cull the timeout bits in 3.12 or 3.14 and report
back if you think that it'd be helpful ...

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
