Make the LAN9303 work when lan9303_probe() is called twice. For some unknown reason the LAN9303 switch fail to forward data when switch fabric port 0 TX is disabled during probe. (Write of LAN9303_MAC_TX_CFG_0 in lan9303_disable_processing_port().) In that situation the switch fabric seem to receive frames, because the ALR is learning addresses. But no frames are transmitted on any of the ports. In our system lan9303_probe() is called twice, first time dsa_register_switch() return -EPROBE_DEFER. As an experiment, modified the code to skip writing LAN9303_MAC_TX_CFG_0, port 0 during the first probe. Then the switch works as expected. Resolve the problem by not calling lan9303_disable_processing_port() on port 0 during probe. Ports 1 and 2 are still disabled. Although unsatisfying that the exact failure mechanism is not known, the patch should not cause any harm.

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.
