In dual_emac mode the driver can handle 2 network devices. Each of them can use its own private data and common data/resources. This patchset splits common driver data/resources and private per net device data. It leads to: - reduce memory usage - increase code readability - allows add a bunch of simplification - create prerequisites to add multi-channel support, when channels are shared between net devices Doesn't have bad impact on performance. v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/4/616 Since v1: - added several patch improvements - avoided variable reordering in structures - removed static variable for common function - split big patch on several patches: net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: remove priv from cpsw_get_slave_port() parameters list net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: remove clk var from priv net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: don't check slave num in runtime net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: create common struct to hold shared driver data net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: replace pdev on dev net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move links on h/w registers to cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move cpdma resources to cpsw_common net; ethernet: ti: cpsw: move irq stuff under cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move data platform data and slaves info to cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix int dbg message net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move napi struct to cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move ale, cpts and drivers params under Based on net-next/master Ivan Khoronzhuk (14): net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: simplify submit routine net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: remove redundant check in napi poll net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: remove priv from cpsw_get_slave_port() parameters list net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: remove clk var from priv net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: don't check slave num in runtime net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: create common struct to hold shared driver data net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: replace pdev on dev net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move links on h/w registers to cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move cpdma resources to cpsw_common net; ethernet: ti: cpsw: move irq stuff under cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move data platform data and slaves info to cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix int dbg message net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move napi struct to cpsw_common net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: move ale, cpts and drivers params under cpsw_common drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw.c | 879 +++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 447 insertions(+), 432 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
