Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] Adjust macb max_tx_len for mpfs

From: Daire McNamara <daire.mcnamara@...rochip.com>

Several customers have reported unexpected ethernet issues whereby
the GEM stops transmitting and receiving. Performing an action such
as ifconfig <ethX> down; ifconfig <ethX> up clears this particular
condition.

The origin of the issue is a stream of AMBA_ERRORS (bit 6) from the
tx queues.

This patch sets the max_tx_length to SRAM size (16 KiB
in the case of mpfs) divided by num_queues (4 in the case of mpfs)
and then subtracts 56 bytes from that figure - resulting in max_tx_len
of 4040.  The max jumbo length is also set to 4040.  These figures
are derived from Cadence erratum 1686.

Change from v1
- Switched from using macb_is_gem() to hw_is_gem() as macb_is_gem()
  relies on capabilities being read and these have not been ascertained
  at this point of the probe routine.
