Description

Sometimes, customer met kernel will hang and not any output when booting.

After investigation, it always hang when run `ifconfig ethx down` command, in P2020's init script(rc.sysinit), it will ifconfig up and then ifconfig down to all ethx.

If we did not run `ifconfig ethx down`, and do it after system finish init, this issue will disppear.

I doubt it have relation with p2020's cpu errta eTSEC-A002, and we have integrate a fix on this issue(56c7e6539643d94a76a5836031916fd5367644f8), so send them a patch like:
