I've found another strange problem, at least triggered/exposed by this 
patch:

On at least either Dalmore or Jetson TK1, using USB Ethernet (hence with 
RTL8169 support disabled in include/configs/jetson-tk1.h[1]), I find 
that if I execute the following commands at or after this patch, then 
the system reboots during DHCP operation:

save mmc 1:1 $loadaddr /dfu_dummy.bin 0x3c0
usb start
setenv autoload no
dhcp

yields:

====================
Tegra124 (Jetson TK1) # dhcp

resetting ...
====================

However, if I execute those commands at the commit before this patch, 
then everything is OK.

The "save" command is definitely required to trigger this issue. The 
partition being saved to is a 1024MiB ext4 filesystem that's almost 
empty. If I omit the save, or save to a 1024MiB FAT filesystem instead, 
there's no error. This leads me to suspect some kind of memory 
corruption rather than a direct problem with this patch. Due to ext4 
interaction, also CCing Łukasz in case he has any quick ideas.

I'll go track down the PC where the error occurs and try and add some 
debug spew etc. to see what's up. Any other ideas appreciated though.

(This is the problem with writing test systems; they show up bugs!)



[1] i.e. I have this change made locally so that no PCIe Ethernet device 
exists, which causes the USB Ethernet to be used by default:
