ath9k: Revert change that broke AR928X on Acer Ferrari One

2011-11-27T19:47:34+00:00

Revert a hunk in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c introduced by
commit 2577c6e8f232 ("ath9k_hw: Add support for AR946/8x chipsets") that
caused a nasty regression to appear on my Acer Ferrari One (the box
locks up entirely at random times after the wireless has been started
without any way to get debug information out of it).

sky2: fix hang in napi_disable

2011-11-18T02:43:57+00:00

If IRQ was never initialized, then calling napi_disable() would hang.
Add more bookkeeping to track whether IRQ was ever initialized.

sky2: enforce minimum ring size

2011-11-18T02:43:57+00:00

The hardware has a restriction that the minimum ring size possible
is 128. The number of elements used is controlled by tx_pending and
the overall number of elements in the ring tx_ring_size, therefore it
is okay to limit the number of elements in use to a small value (63)
but still provide a bigger ring.

bonding: Don't allow mode change via sysfs with slaves present

2011-11-18T00:31:54+00:00

When changing mode via bonding's sysfs, the slaves are not initialized
correctly. Forbid to change modes with slaves present to ensure that every
slave is initialized correctly via bond_enslave().

sleeps while a spinlock is taken.

stmmac: remove spin_lock in stmmac_ioctl.

2011-11-17T08:13:42+00:00

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

stmmac: parameters auto-tuning through HW cap reg

2011-11-17T08:13:41+00:00

New GMAC devices (newer than the databook 3.50a) have the
HW capability register that provides which features are actually
supported by the hardware.

On old devices many information have to be passed through the
platform, for example: enhanced descriptor structure,
TX COE etc. These are mandatory to properly configure the driver.
This remains still valid because the driver has to support old
Synopsys devices but now it's also able to override them using the
values from the HW capability register if supported.
