Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 08:49:43 +0200 From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO <peppe.cavallaro@...com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: eric.dumazet@...il.com, bhutchings@...arflare.com, rayagond@...avyalabs.com, davem@...emloft.net, yuvalmin@...adcom.com, Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@...com> Subject: [net-next.git 0/4] EEE for PAL and stmmac (V4) These patches add the EEE support in the stmmac device driver restoring an old work I had done some months ago and not completed in time. I've tested all on ST STB with the IC+ 101G PHY device that has this feature. The initial EEE support for the stmmac has been written by Rayagond but I have reworked all his code adding new parts and especially performing tests on a real hardware. Thx Rayagond! In these patches, we can see that the stmmac supports the EEE only if the DMA HW capability register says that this feature is actually available. In that case, the driver can enter in the Tx LPI mode by using a timer as recommended by Synopsys. Note that EEE is supported in new chip generations; in particular I used the 3.61a. At any rate, further information about how the driver treats the EEE can be found in the stmmac.txt file (there is a patch for that). Another patch is for Physical Abstraction Layer now able to manage the MMD registers (clause 45); it also provides the ethtool support to manage supported/advertisement/lp adv features. v3: fixed the "stmmac: do not use strict_strtoul but kstrtoint" to use the kstrtoint. v4: fixed the function to enable the EEE and add a check that verifies if the link auto-negotiated matches with the bits in the adv and lp registers. Giuseppe Cavallaro (4): stmmac: do not use strict_strtoul but kstrtoint stmmac: update the driver Documentation and add EEE stmmac: add the Energy Efficient Ethernet support phy: add the EEE support and the way to access to the MMD registers.
