[PATCH v2 2/2] net: Change default delay on IP autoconfig to 0ms

From: David Ventura
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 05:08:39 EST


Reduce the default settle time from 10ms to 0ms, based on previous discussions (
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1305696161-18277-1-git-send-email-micha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/t/
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/580001e3-17ef-4f24-8fd8-bc14110e874e@xxxxxxx/
) ARP and DHCP retries are expected to handle any lost transmissions.

This patch depends on 1f0aa0c947eeb4edb60add141a5bc2309f2dc8dd ("
net: make driver settling time configurable").
