Jeff, thanks for the feedback. If dropped your comments for the sections
I've either already implemented or will be doing shortly. The remaining
comments are below to help clarify the code in question or if I didn't
understand your comment.

Not much can be done if we can no longer communicate with the phy. I've added
calls to reset the mac/phy through a tasklet.

It is a hardware limit for different devices in this family.

I thought sysfs was only required if the file was to be writable?
Is this no longer the case?

I'm not sure what you mean by ghost, an alias for ID 1?

We have several boards which access either stand-alone or switch/phy-combos

Are you referring to the printk or the option parsing above it?

I've only looked at mii.c briefly but it appears that it would involve a complete
re-write of your mspeth_phy struct and all code accessing it. That is risky
for a driver that has been solid for the last couple years and is already in
production.

Is this mandatory?

Not sure what you mean here? The above lines reset one of the MACs within the

Again I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to. Assuming it's not the
TX queue length, but the code above that controls device specific clocking
for RMII. I'm not aware of any standard defaults for that.

A bit of background to clarify the drivers use...
This driver is for a proprietary MAC sitting across a proprietary bus. It is
also device and arch specific, it will never be on a PCI card.

By mapping the frame and buffer descriptors to a uncached memory segment and
allowing the DMA to make use of those addresses, we avoid a lot of extra
code/cycles when manipulating those structures throughout the driver.

In order to accomplish this the MAC must be given the uncached address above.

Same reasoning as I described above for the Rx side.

I will look at using a flag to handle the two different cases required by
error types.

Some of our customers prefer NAPI over tasklets, that is why we have
a configuration options so each one can choose the preferred method.

I've fixed the cast for unsigned long.

Yes fairly certain. Originally it wasn't included and the count didn't match
other hosts/test equipment. We also had a customer report the same finding.
Looking through existing drivers I see some doing both.

The cast is not done for DMA alignment but for IP header alignment.
 From the comment in mspeth_init_queues():
	/*
	 * Initialize the buffer list entries reserving 2 bytes
	 * in the skb results in a 16-byte aligned  IP header,
	 * but also puts the skb->data at a 16-bit boundary.
	 * The hardware requires a 32-bit aligned buffer. So we
	 * round back two bytes and then instruct the hardware
	 * to skip forward 2 bytes into the buffer.

I have redefined for NAPI declaration to eliminate this cast. However the
non-NAPI code needs it to be an unsigned long for tasklet_init().

It's 'ARC_ENTRY_MAX - 3'. I've added a test to the 'else if (dev->mc_count)'
case's for loop.
