Why not, but you can see the default value as "value for disabled state".
My fear is that something (uboot) modify it (keep it activated) before driver load.

I just do as other glue does. But yes this is uglyi, no excuse.
Reworking all stmmac register dump (ethtool, stmmac_ops->dump_regs and stmmac_dma_ops->dump_regs) was on my todo list,
but I postponed it.

I will propose something better based on debugfs.

All thoses function are handled by the "stmmac_ops framework", all other glue drivers does not lock anything.
The few functions that need locking already got it on the calling stmmac side.

The value is the same as used in vendor BSP kernel.
I do not understand what you mean by auto-training.

Good catch, I believed that the "stmmac framework" would free it.
I will send a fix for this memory leak.

This part will be fixed with the debugfs speaked early in the mail.

But yes I have tried to avoid use of has_sun8i at maximum.
