[ Upstream commit3148dedfe7] Since commita92a08499b"r8169: improve runtime pm in general and suspend unused ports" interfaces w/o link are runtime-suspended after 10s. On systems where drivers take longer to load this can lead to the situation that the interface is runtime-suspended already when it's initially brought up. This shouldn't be a problem because rtl_open() resumes MAC/PHY. However with at least one chip version the interface doesn't properly come up, as reported here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199549 The vendor driver uses a delay to give certain chip versions some time to resume before starting the PHY configuration. So let's do the same. I don't know which chip versions may be affected, therefore apply this delay always. This patch was reported to fix the issue for RTL8168h. I was able to reproduce the issue on an Asus H310I-Plus which also uses a RTL8168h. Also in my case the patch fixed the issue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
