2012-06-11net: stmmac: Fix clock en-/disable callsStefan Roese
clk_{un}prepare is mandatory for platforms using common clock framework. Since these drivers are used by SPEAr platform, which supports common clock framework, add clk_{un}prepare() support for them. Otherwise the clocks are not correctly en-/disabled and ethernet support doesn't work.

2012-06-08stmmac: fix driver built w/ w/o both pci and platf modulesGiuseppe CAVALLARO
The commit ba27ec66ffeb78cbf fixes the Kconfig of the driver when built as module allowing to select/unselect the PCI and Platform modules that are not anymore mutually exclusive. This patch fixes and guarantees that the driver builds on all the platforms w/ w/o PCI and when select/unselect the two stmmac supports. In case of there are some problems on both the configuration and the pci/pltf registration the module_init will fail. v2: set the CONFIG_STMMAC_PLATFORM enabled by default. I've just noticed that this can actually help on some configurations that don't enable any STMMAC options by default (e.g. SPEAr). v3: change printk level when do not register the driver.

2012-06-06stmmac: fix driver Kconfig when built as moduleGiuseppe CAVALLARO
This patches fixes the driver when built as dynamic module. In fact, the platform part cannot be built and the probe fails (thanks to Bob Liu that reported this bug). v2: as D. Miller suggested, it is not necessary to make the pci and the platform code mutually exclusive. Having both could also help, at built time ,to verify that all the code is validated and compiles fine. v3: removed wrong Reviewed-by from the patch Reported-by: Bob Liu <lliubbo@gmail.com> cc: Rayagond Kokatanur <rayagond@vayavyalabs.com> Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-05-14stmmac: add mixed burst for DMAGiuseppe CAVALLARO
In mixed burst (MB) mode, the AHB master always initiates the bursts with fixed-size when the DMA requests transfers of size less than or equal to 16 beats. This patch adds the MB support and the flag that can be passed from the platform to select it. MB mode can also give some benefits in terms of performances on some platforms. v2: fixed Coding Style Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch is to extend the number of MAC address registers for 16 to 32. In fact, other new 16 registers are available in new chips and this can help on perfect filter mode for unicast. This patch also fixes the perfect filtering mode by setting the bit 31 in the MAC address registers. v2: fixed Coding Style.

2012-04-20stmmac: do not fail when probe and there is no csr clk definedGiuseppe CAVALLARO
On some platforms, for example where we are doing the bring-up, the csr clock is not passed from the framework and the Ethernet device driver is failing when it can work w/o any issues and using the default values. So this patch just warnings the case of the csr clock cannot be acquired but w/o failing the probe step. I have just tested it on ST STiH415 SoC (ARM).

2012-04-20stmmac: verify the dma_cfg platform fieldsGiuseppe CAVALLARO
Recently the dma parameters that can be passed from the platform have been moved from the plat_stmmacenet_data to the stmmac_dma_cfg. In case of this new structure is not well allocated the driver can fails. This is an example how this field is managed in ST platforms static struct stmmac_dma_cfg gmac_dma_setting = { .pbl = 32, }; static struct plat_stmmacenet_data stih415_ethernet_platform_data[] = { { .dma_cfg = &gmac_dma_setting, .has_gmac = 1, [snip] This patch so verifies that the dma_cfg passed from the platform. In case of it is NULL there is no reason that the driver has to fail and some default values can be passed. These are ok for all the Synopsys chips and could impact on performances, only.

The CSR Clock Range has been reworked and new macros has been added in the platform header to allow the CSR Clock Range selection in the GMII Address Register. The previous work didn't add the other fields that can be used to achieve MDC clock of frequency higher than the IEEE 802.3 specified frequency limit of 2.5 MHz and program a clock divider of lower value.

So the RX COE can be passed through the platform but can be fixed at run-time in case of the core has the HW capability register. Also to support the Type-1 Rx COE the driver must append the HW checksum at the end of payload in case the Rx checksum engine was used to offload the HW checksum.

This patch adds new variable phy_bus_name to plat_stmmacenet_data struct to let the BSP decide which phy bus to be used by stmmac driver.

This patch removes un-needed spin_lock in stmmac_ioctl while reading and writing mdio registers. While holding spin_lock the code must be atomic, which is not true in this case as both mdiobus_read and writes have mutex locks. Without this patch reading mdio registers via mii-tool results in below BUG: mii-tool -vvv eth0" Using SIOCGMIIPHY=0x8947 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:287 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 614, name: mii-tool 2 locks held by mii-tool/614: #0: (rtnl_mutex){......}, at: [<c01fd80c>] dev_ioctl+0x550/0x674 #1: (&priv->lock){......}, at: [<c01b34ec>] stmmac_ioctl+0x4c/0x78 [<c002ea14>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xcc) from [<c0272c38>] (mutex_lock_nested+0x24/0x35c) [<c0272c38>] (mutex_lock_nested+0x24/0x35c) from [<c01b237c>] (mdiobus_read+0x44/0x70) [<c01b237c>] (mdiobus_read+0x44/0x70) from [<c01b0c64>] (phy_mii_ioctl+0x4c/0x138) [<c01b0c64>] (phy_mii_ioctl+0x4c/0x138) from [<c01b34fc>] (stmmac_ioctl+0x5c/0x78) [<c01b34fc>] (stmmac_ioctl+0x5c/0x78) from [<c01fcec8>] (dev_ifsioc+0x2a4/0x2c8) [<c01fcec8>] (dev_ifsioc+0x2a4/0x2c8) from [<c01fd81c>] (dev_ioctl+0x560/0x674) [<c01fd81c>] (dev_ioctl+0x560/0x674) from [<c00c36e0>] (vfs_ioctl+0x2c/0x8c) [<c00c36e0>] (vfs_ioctl+0x2c/0x8c) from [<c00c4130>] (do_vfs_ioctl+0x530/0x578) [<c00c4130>] (do_vfs_ioctl+0x530/0x578) from [<c00c41ac>] (sys_ioctl+0x34/0x54) [<c00c41ac>] (sys_ioctl+0x34/0x54) from [<c0028aa0>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x2c) Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@st.com> Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
