Hi Christoph,

Your new patch fixes the problems with the P.A. Semi Ethernet! :-)

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christoph,

I also didnât notice the 32-bit DMA mask in your patch. I have to read your patches and descriptions carefully in the future. I will test your new patch at the weekend.

Thanks,
Christian

("dma-direct: we might need GFP_DMA for 32-bit dma masks"), if I
remember correctly. powerpc/dma: use the dma_direct mapping routines
was the one that you said makes the pasemi ethernet stop working.

Can you post the dmesg from the failing runs?
But I just noticed I sent you a wrong patch - the pasemi ethernet
should set a 64-bit DMA mask, not 32-bit. Updated version below,
32-bit would just keep the previous status quo.
