My coworker Lucas pointed me to:
| https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi#non-level_sensitive_irqs
On the other hand, I would also like to convert the !peripteral part of
the driver to rx-offload. However, I am still looking for potential
customers for this task. I have talked to some TI and ST people at LPC,
maybe they are interested.
I think let's first fix edge sensitive IRQs, then rework the driver to
rx-offload.
regards,
Marc
