The sh_eth_close() resets the MAC and then calls phy_stop() so that mdio read access result is incorrect without any error according to kernel trace like below: ifconfig-216 [003] .n.. 109.133124: mdio_access: ee700000.ethernet-ffffffff read phy:0x01 reg:0x00 val:0xffff According to the hardware manual, the RMII mode should be set to 1 before operation the Ethernet MAC. However, the previous code was not set to 1 after the driver issued the soft_reset in sh_eth_dev_exit() so that the mdio read access result seemed incorrect. To fix the issue, this patch adds a condition and set the RMII mode register in sh_eth_dev_exit() for R-Car Gen2 and RZ/A1 SoCs. Note that when I have tried to move the sh_eth_dev_exit() calling after phy_stop() on sh_eth_close(), but it gets worse (kernel panic happened and it seems that a register is accessed while the clock is off).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
