09:09 <karlp> mrkiko: no, the sysupgrade completes, then it reboots into the new kernel (I can see the compile time changed) then it crashes, but not on all rebuilds.  it's definitely a bug somewhere, but absolutely not something I'm interested in chasing.  once it's reset once from uboot, it reboots happily "forever" without crashing.
09:09 <karlp> the port link detection is likely something simple, there's a ton of ar9331 devices, and a ton of similar devices with the same switch, but I don't know the right dts invocations, and I was going nohwere trying to cargo cult plausible snippets around.
