Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 00/10] split out emac cpdma and mdio for reuse

Could you elaborate on your test scenario so that I can try and
reproduce the problem at my end?  Also, did you have the contents of my
commit stack in this particular kernel build?

Assuming that the DMA got stuck at some point leading up to the transmit
timeout, any ideas as to why a host error was not thrown?  To help
debug, I'll post out a set of patches that dump out the MAC (and DMA)
registers on timeout.  That should give us some visibility into the problem.
