Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 21:13:46 -0500 From: Abraham Arce <abraham.arce.moreno@...il.com> To: Sebastien Jan <s-jan@...com> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Ben Dooks <ben@...tec.co.uk>, Abraham Arce <x0066660@...com> Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 0/2] ks8851: support for read/write MAC address from EEPROM Hi, > I needed to program a mac address to the companion eeprom of our ks8851, and > wrote the following patches, which use debug-fs as interface. > > I then realized that this seemed not the usual way to access net controller > eeproms (ethtool seems the more standard way). > > I am very interesed in getting your feedbacks on the following: > 1) Does it make any sense to you to use this debug-fs interface to read/write > the mac address (advantage: no need for user to know how ks8851 manages the > eeprom / alignment / offset), and can it be upstreamed? > 2) Must a more generic eeprom access be implemented through ethtool (or another > interface?)? Is it the only choice or can it coexist with option 1)? (most of > code would be common) > 3) Any feedback regarding the code itself or anything else is very welcome! > Does anyone could guide us about the implementation done by Sebastien? http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/48880/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/48881/ Best Regards Abraham -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
