Some combinations of Pi 4Bs and Ethernet switches don't reliably get a DCHP-assigned IP address, leaving the unit with a self=assigned 169.254 address. In the failure case, the Pi is left able to receive packets but not send them, suggesting that the MAC<->PHY link is getting into a bad state. It has been found empirically that skipping a reset step by the genet driver prevents the failures. No downsides have been discovered yet, and unlike the forced renegotiation it doesn't increase the time to get an IP address, so the workaround is enabled by default; add genet.skip_umac_reset=n to the command line to disable it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
