2018-12-05net: documentation: build a directory structure for driversJakub Kicinski1-42/+0
Documentation/networking/ is full of cryptically named files with driver documentation. This makes finding interesting information at a glance really hard. Move all those files into a directory called device_drivers (since not all drivers are for device) and fix up references. RFC v0.1 -> RFC v1: - also add .txt suffix to the files which are missing it (Quentin) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Acked-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-02-19gianfar: Remove sysfs stubs for FIFOCFG and stashingClaudiu Manoil1-30/+0
Removing the sysfs stubs for the Tx FIFOCFG and ATTRELI (stashing) config registers, as these registers may only be configured after a MAC reset, with the controller stopped (i.e. during hw init, at probe() time). The current sysfs stubs allow on-the-fly updates of these registers (the locking measures are useless and only add unecessary code). Changing these registers is discouraged. Only the default values will be used instead. Moreover, the stashing (ATTRELI) configuration options were effectively disabled (didn't get to the hw anyway if changed) because the stashing device_flags (HAS_BD_STASHING|HAS_BUF_STASHING) were "accidentally" cleared during probe().

2005-11-18[PATCH] Gianfar update and sysfs supportAndy Fleming1-0/+72
This seems to have gotten lost, so I'll resend. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> * Added sysfs support to gianfar for modifying FIFO and stashing parameters * Updated driver to support 10 Mbit, full duplex operation * Improved comments throughout * Cleaned up and optimized offloading code * Fixed a bug where rx buffers were being improperly mapped and unmapped * (only manifested if cache-coherency was off) * Added support for using the eTSEC exact-match MAC registers * Bumped the version to 1.3 * Added support for distinguishing between reduced 100 and 10 Mbit modes * Modified default coalescing values to lower latency * Added documentation Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
