Anyway, while browsing through this software implementation of a
verification process, I cannot help but think we'd be making a huge
mistake to allow each driver to reimplement it on its own. We just
recently got stmmac to do something fairly clean, with the help and
great perseverence of Furong Xu (now copied).
I spent a bit of time extracting stmmac's core logic and putting it in
ethtool. If Furong had such good will so as to regression-test the
attached patch, do you think you could use this as a starting place
instead, and implement some ops and call some library methods, instead
of writing the entire logic yourself?
I am quiet busy these days, especially near the end of the year :)
Maybe I can help testing the attached patch when the next time net-next opens.
Thanks.
I'm a colleague of Faizal and I'd be happy to help out with testing the
patch. I'll take care of testing it on the stmmac side and will sort out
any issues that come up. If there are any necessary fixes or improvements,
I'll handle those and provide feedback accordingly.
