net: eth: altera: Resolve false errors from MSGDMA to TSE

2015-04-25T18:41:52Z

This patch resolves false errors from MSGDMA in TX mSGDMA MM to ST mode, and is a continuation of the patch recently submitted by Andrea Oetken. The MSGDMA had a logic bug that masked detection of this issue prior to Quartus 14.1/Build 164. When the MSGDMA logic bug was addressed in Quartus 14.1/Build 164, the driver problem was exposed. The problem is corrected by making sure MSGDMA_DESC_CTL_TR_ERR_IRQ is not set for any of the transmit DMA descriptors, and only used for receive descriptors.

altera tse: Error-Bit on tx-avalon-stream always set.

2015-04-21T02:01:16Z

The Error-Bit on the avalon streaming interface of the tx-dma-channel was always set. In SGMII configurations this leads to error-symbols on the PCS and packet-rejection on the receiver side (e.g. SGMII/1000Base-X connected switch). This only applies to the tse-configuration with MSGDMA. This issue was detected and fixed on a custom board with a direct connection to a Marvell switch in SGMII-PHY-Mode. (incl. custom patches for SGMII-PCS). According to the datasheet if ff_tx_err (avalon-streaming) is set it is forwarded to gm_tx_err. As a result the PCS is forwarding the error by sending a "/V/"-caracter. Signed-off-by: Andreas Oetken Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Altera TSE: Fix sparse errors and warnings

2014-05-15T20:46:46Z

This patch fixes the many sparse errors and warnings contained in the initial submission of the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet driver, and a few minor cppcheck warnings. Changes are tested on ARM and NIOS2 example designs, and compile tested against multiple architectures. Typical issues addressed were as follows: altera_tse_ethtool.c:136:19: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) altera_tse_ethtool.c:136:19: expected void const volatile [noderef] *addr altera_tse_ethtool.c:136:19: got unsigned int * ... altera_sgdma.c:129:31: warning: cast removes address space of expression Signed-off-by: Vince Bridgers Signed-off-by: David S.
