    Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 38/43] s390/qeth: reset layer2 attribute on layer switch
    Date
    From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com>

    [ Upstream commit 70551dc46ffa3555a0b5f3545b0cd87ab67fd002 ]

    After the subdriver's remove() routine has completed, the card's layer
    mode is undetermined again. Reflect this in the layer2 field.

    If qeth_dev_layer2_store() hits an error after remove() was called, the
    card _always_ requires a setup(), even if the previous layer mode is
    requested again.
    But qeth_dev_layer2_store() bails out early if the requested layer mode
    still matches the current one. So unless we reset the layer2 field,
    re-probing the card back to its previous mode is currently not possible.
