stmmac: Move the STMicroelectronics driver

2011-08-11T23:29:01Z

Move the STMicroelectronics driver into driver/net/ethernet/stmicro/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. CC: Giuseppe Cavallaro Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

stmmac: unify MAC and PHY configuration parameters (V2)

2011-07-21T22:29:16Z

Prior to this change, most PHY configuration parameters were passed into the STMMAC device as a separate PHY device. As well as being unusual, this made it difficult to make changes to the MAC/PHY relationship. This patch moves all the PHY parameters into the MAC configuration structure, mainly as a separate structure. This allows us to completely ignore the MDIO bus attached to a stmmac if desired, and not create the PHY bus. It also allows the stmmac driver to use a different PHY from the one it is connected to, for example a fixed PHY or bit banging PHY. Also derive the stmmac/PHY connection type (MII/RMII etc) from the mode can be passed into _configure_ethernet. STLinux kernel at git://git.stlinux.com/stm/linux-sh4-2.6.32.y.git provides several examples how to use this new infrastructure (that actually is easier to maintain and clearer).

stmmac: remove warning when compile as built-in (V2)

2011-07-21T22:29:16Z

The patch removes the following serie of warnings when the driver is compiled as built-in: drivers/net/stmmac/stmmac_main.c: In function stmmac_cmdline_opt: drivers/net/stmmac/stmmac_main.c:1855:12: warning: ignoring return value of kstrtoul, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [snip] Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro Signed-off-by: David S.

stmmac: Allow SOCs to use Store forward mode eventhough tx_coe is 0. (V2)

2011-07-18T17:47:24Z

This patch adds new field 'force_sf_dma_mode' to plat_stmmacenet_data struct to allow users to specify if they want to use force store forward eventhough tx_coe is not available in hw. without this flag stmmac driver will use cut-thru mode not use store-forward mode.

stmmac: add memory barriers at appropriate places

2011-07-18T17:47:24Z

This patch, provided by ST SPEAr developers, has fixed a problem raised on ARM CA9 where happened that the dma_transmission was enabled before the dma descriptors were properly filled. To guarantee this data memory barriers have been explicity used in the driver. Signed-off-by: Shiraz Hashim Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h

2011-06-22T02:17:20Z

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file. Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
