netdev: bfin_mac: disable hardware checksum if writeback cache is enabled

2011-01-10T21:31:13+00:00

With writeback caches, corrupted RX packets will be sent up the stack
without any error markings.

netdev: bfin_mac: drop unused Mac data

2011-01-10T21:31:13+00:00

We don't use this local "Mac" data anywhere (since we rely on the
netdev's storage), so punt it.

netdev: bfin_mac: push settings to platform resources

2010-10-25T08:54:25+00:00

Move all the pin settings out of the Kconfig and into the platform
resources (MII vs RMII).  This clean up also lets us push out the
phy settings so that board porters may control the layout.

netdev:bfin_mac: reclaim and free tx skb as soon as possible after transfer

2010-06-15T22:04:10+00:00

SKBs hold onto resources that can't be held indefinitely, such as TCP
socket references and netfilter conntrack state.  So if a packet is left
in TX ring for a long time, there might be a TCP socket that cannot be
closed and freed up.

Current blackfin EMAC driver always reclaim and free used tx skbs in future
transfers. The problem is that future transfer may not come as soon as
possible. This patch start a timer after transfer to reclaim and free skb.
There is nearly no performance drop with this patch.

TX interrupt is not enabled because of a strange behavior of the Blackfin EMAC.
If EMAC TX transfer control is turned on, endless TX interrupts are triggered
no matter if TX DMA is enabled or not. Since DMA walks down the ring automatically,
TX transfer control can't be turned off in the middle. The only way is to disable
TX interrupt completely.

netdev: bfin_mac: add support for IEEE 1588 PTP

2010-05-18T00:19:40+00:00

Newer on-chip MAC peripherals support IEEE 1588 PTP in the hardware, so
extend the driver to support this functionality.

phylib: move to dynamic allocation of struct mii_bus

2008-10-08T23:29:57+00:00

This patch introduces mdiobus_alloc() and mdiobus_free(), and
makes all mdio bus drivers use these functions to allocate their
struct mii_bus'es dynamically.

Blackfin EMAC Driver: code cleanup

2008-04-29T05:56:14+00:00

 - replace specific "bf537" function or data structure name to "bfin_mac"
 - cleanup bfin_mac_probe with error checking
 - punt set_pin_mux function, call peripheral request/free list functions directly
