We add 9 basic sanity > checks and MAC loopback support for all cores within the driver. This way > more tests can easily be added in the future and can be run in virtually > any MAC/GMAC/QoS/XGMAC platform. > > Having this we can find regressions and missing features in the driver > while at the same time we can check if the IP is correctly working. > > We have been using this for some time now and I do have more tests to > submit in the feature. My experience is that although writing the tests > adds more development time, the gain results are obvious. > > I let this feature optional within the driver under a Kconfig option. Series applied.
