2016-06-28drivers: net: stmmac: reworking the PCS code.Giuseppe CAVALLARO1-0/+1
The 3.xx and 4.xx synopsys gmacs have a very similar PCS embedded module and they share almost the same registers: for example: AN_Control, AN_Status, AN_Advertisement, AN_Link_Partner_Ability, AN_Expansion, TBI_Extended_Status. Just the RGMII/SMII Control/Status register differs. So This patch aims to reorganize and enhance the PCS support. It removes the existent support from the dwmac1000/dwmac4_core.c moving basic PCS functions inside a new file called: stmmac_pcs.h. The patch also reviews the available APIs to be better shared among different hardware and easily enhanced to support new features.

An SFP module may have a link up/down status pin which can be connection to a GPIO line of the host. Add support for reading such an GPIO in the fixed_phy driver.

2015-07-29stmmac: remove setup/free glue callbacksJoachim Eastwood1-6/+2
As all dwmac-* drivers have been converted to have a proper probe function the setup callback can now be removed. Also remove the free callback that wasn't used by any driver. New dwmac-* drivers should implement standard probe and remove functions to preform any needed setup and teardown. Signed-off-by: Joachim Eastwood <manabian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-07-21stmmac: drop custom_* fields from plat_stmmacenet_dataJoachim Eastwood1-4/+0
Both of these fields are unused and has been unused since they were added 3 and 5 years ago. Drop them since they are clearly not very useful. Signed-off-by: Joachim Eastwood <manabian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-11-19stmmac: update driver documentationGiuseppe CAVALLARO1-67/+65
Recently many changes have been done inside the driver so this patch updates the driver's doc for example reviewing information for the rx and tx processes that are managed by napi method, adding new information for missing glue-logic files etc. Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-01-20net: stmmac: Allocate and pass soc/board specific data to callbacksChen-Yu Tsai1-4/+8
The current .init and .exit callbacks requires access to driver private data structures. This is not a good seperation and abstraction. Instead, we add a new .setup callback for allocating private data, and pass the returned pointer to the other callbacks. Signed-off-by: Chen-Yu Tsai <wens@csie.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

force_thresh_dma_mode is set. Some synopsys ip implementation doesn't support DMA store and forward mode, such as BF60x. So, set force_thresh_dma_mode to use DMA thresholds only.

2012-09-01net:stmmac: Remove bus_id from mdio platform data.Srinivas Kandagatla1-5/+0
This patch removes bus_id from mdio platform data, The reason to remove bus_id is, stmmac mdio bus_id is always same as stmmac bus-id, so there is no point in passing this in different variable. Also stmmac ethernet driver connects to phy with bus_id passed its platform data. So, having single bus-id is much simpler.

2012-04-05stmmac: MDC clock dynamically based on the csr clock inputGiuseppe CAVALLARO1-1/+1
If a specific clk_csr value is passed from the platform this means that the CSR Clock Range selection cannot be changed at run-time and it is fixed (as reported in the driver documentation). Viceversa the driver will try to set the MDC clock dynamically according to the actual clock input.

2012-04-05stmmac: re-work the internal GMAC DMA platf parametersDeepak SIKRI1-3/+21
This patch re-works the internal GMAC DMA parameters passed from the platform. In the past, we only passed the pbl but, with new core, other parameters can be passed and are mandatory on some platforms. New parameters are documented in stmmac.txt because this patch has an impact for many platforms.

2012-04-05stmmac: Define CSUM offload engine TypesDeepak SIKRI1-0/+3
This patch explicitly defines the CSUM offload engine type which need (not mandatory) to be passed from the platform code. STMMAC core supports two check sum offload engine types- Type-1 & Type-2. Also, there are STMMAC cores that do not have the check sum offload capabilities. The behaviour of Type-1 & Type-2 cores related to provision of checksum increases the packet length for Type-1 cores by 2, as the checksum is appended at the end of data packet and the same is made accountable in the DMA status. The STMMAC cores beyond Version-3.5 provide HW interface registers which allows the user to read the HW capabilities, while to support the previous cores the information related to HW capabilities has to be provided from the platform code. The Type-1 cores which do not have the HW register interface need this information. This patch also updates the driver's doc.
