lan743x: Fix TX Stall Issue

2019-03-13T20:41:46Z

It has been observed that tx queue may stall while downloading from certain web sites (example www.speedtest.net) The cause has been tracked down to a corner case where the tx interrupt vector was disabled automatically, but was not re enabled later. The lan743x has two mechanisms to enable/disable individual interrupts. Interrupts can be enabled/disabled by individual source, and they can also be enabled/disabled by individual vector which has been mapped to the source. Both must be enabled for interrupts to work properly. The TX code path, primarily uses the interrupt enable/disable of the TX source bit, while leaving the vector enabled all the time. However, while investigating this issue it was noticed that the driver requested the use of the vector auto clear feature. The test above revealed a case where the vector enable was cleared unintentionally. This patch fixes the issue by deleting the lines that request the vector auto clear feature to be used.

lan743x: Fix RX Kernel Panic

2019-03-11T19:20:20Z

It has been noticed that running the speed test at www.speedtest.net occasionally causes a kernel panic. Investigation revealed that under this test RX buffer allocation sometimes fails and returns NULL. But the lan743x driver did not handle this case. This patch fixes this issue by attempting to allocate a buffer before sending the new rx packet to the OS. If the allocation fails then the new rx packet is dropped and the existing buffer is reused in the DMA ring. Updates for v2: Additional 2 locations where allocation was not checked, has been changed to reuse existing buffer.

lan743x: Fix TX Stall Issue

2019-03-01T19:34:09Z

It has been observed that tx queue stalls while downloading from certain web sites (example www.speedtest.net) The cause has been tracked down to a corner case where dma descriptors where not setup properly. And there for a tx completion interrupt was not signaled. This fix corrects the problem by properly marking the end of a multi descriptor transmission.

enc28j60: Correct description of debug module parameter

2019-02-27T17:35:24Z

The netif_msg_init() API takes on input the amount of bits to be set. The description of debug parameter in the enc28j60 module is misleading in this sense and passing 0xffff does not give an expected behaviour. Fix the description of debug module parameter to show what exactly is expected. Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lan743x: Provide Read/Write Access to on chip OTP

2019-01-26T17:35:21Z

The LAN743x includes on chip One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory. This patch extends the ethtool EEPROM read/write interface to access OTP memory space. The currently existing interface is limited, as it does not allow OTP read, and OTP writes are restricted to offset==0, length==512, and data[0]==0xF3. This patch removes these restrictions and adds a private flag called OTP_ACCESS, which is used to switch between EEPROM, and OTP modes. The private flag OTP_ACCESS is configurable through the ethtool --set-priv-flags command. And visible through the ethtool --show-priv-flags command. By default OTP_ACCESS is false, and there for previously existing EEPROM commands will work exactly the same. However now access to OTP requires one extra step of setting OTP_ACCESS to true. This flag controls the read, write, and length reporting, functions of ethtool. EEPROM presence is not checked when setting or clearing this flag. If the EEPROM is not present, the user, as before, will need to diagnose that using existing read and write function of ethtool, while OTP_ACCESS is false. Updates for V2: Added comments as to why this patch is needed. Added comments explaining that EEPROM presence is not check when setting or clearing the OTP_ACCESS flag. Added length checking to all otp/eeprom read/write functions. Signed-off-by: Bryan Whitehead Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lan743x: Remove phy_read from link status change function

2019-01-08T21:26:12Z

It has been noticed that some phys do not have the registers required by the previous implementation. To fix this, instead of using phy_read, the required information is extracted from the phy_device structure. fixes: 23f0703c125b ("lan743x: Add main source files for new lan743x driver") Signed-off-by: Bryan Whitehead Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S.

lan743x: Remove MAC Reset from initialization

2018-12-19T23:48:11Z

The MAC Reset was noticed to erase important EEPROM settings. It is also unnecessary since a chip wide reset was done earlier in initialization, and that reset preserves EEPROM settings. There for this patch removes the unnecessary MAC specific reset. Signed-off-by: Bryan Whitehead Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lan743x: Expand phy search for LAN7431

2018-12-19T05:35:56Z

The LAN7431 uses an external phy, and it can be found anywhere in the phy address space. This patch uses phy address 1 for LAN7430 only. And searches all addresses otherwise. Signed-off-by: Bryan Whitehead Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lan743x: Enable driver to work with LAN7431

2018-11-28T00:32:07Z

This driver was designed to work with both LAN7430 and LAN7431. The only difference between the two is the LAN7431 has support for external phy. This change adds LAN7431 to the list of recognized devices supported by this driver.
