[PATCH 0/6] net/macb: add HW features to macb driver

From: Cyrille Pitchen
Date: Fri Jul 18 2014 - 10:23:57 EST


Hi,

this series of patches adds new hardware features to macb driver. These
features can be enabled/disabled at runtime using ethtool. Depending on
hardware and design configuration, some are enabled by default whereas other
are disabled.

For instance, checksum offload features are enabled by default for gem designed
for packet buffer mode but disabled for fifo mode design or for old macb.

Besides, the scatter-gather feature is enabled and tested on macb but disabled
on sama5d3x gem. When testing this feature on sama5d3x gem, TX lockups occured
frequently.

These patches were made for net-next.git repository.

ARM: at91: change compatibility string for sama5d3x gem
net/macb: enable scatter-gather feature and set DMA burst length for
sama5d4 gem
