Hi all, I am using the Marvell ethernet driver[mv643xx_eth]. The function eth_port_read_smi_reg(), uses a delay in order to wait for the SMI register to become available. Does anyone have any clue how much time it actually takes for the SMI register to become available? Actually I am using an older version of the driver which does not use the udelay functions in the loops. It rather has a "for" loop for putting a timeout. Now the gcc-4.3.1 compiler optimizes out the "for" loop. So I need to replace the "for" loop with a delay function. Now the question is "how much delay would be appropriate". Any replies in this regard would be appreciated. -- Regards, Upakul Barkakaty -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
