    Part Change Notice #10667: CFA-921 revised for backlight and ethernet corrections
    Product Affected: CFA921-TS
    Date Issued: July 22, 2015
    Summary: CFA-921 revised for backlight and ethernet corrections
    Description: Backlight driver schematic update and roll-up of R_MDIO change from Product Update #10588.
    Reason: R_MDIO had been unpopulated initially, but corrected by Product Update #10588. Backlight driver schematic had two resistors swapped, making the backlight not able to be set to 0%.
    Impact: Affects all CFA921 variants. No change will be required on the part of any users.
    Recommendation: Swap RBL2 and RBL3 on product shipped prior to 2015-07-21 if backlight behavior is inappropriate for your application.
    Availability: Immediate.
    Price Change: None.

    Product Update #10588: R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor
    Products Affected: CFA10037, CFA921-TS, CFA920-TS
    Date Issued: May 22, 2014
    Summary: R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor
    Description: R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor so that the device gets properly set up by Linux on start-up.
    Reason: MDIO times out before it can be detected.
    Recommendation: 1. Install 1.5k pull-up to R_MDIO.

    Or

    2. Use kernel version cfa-3.12.17, commit ID 2cbfe6e36266b82daac0a9e9aa92e0706e306411
