You're looking at the wrong function. This is pnic_do_nway() and you're looking at pnic_timer(). Of course, Colin's patch assumes the current behavior is correct... I guess the current behavior can't be that terrible since it predates git and no one has complained. drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/pnic.c 19 void pnic_do_nway(struct net_device *dev) 20 { 21 struct tulip_private *tp = netdev_priv(dev); 22 void __iomem *ioaddr = tp->base_addr; 23 u32 phy_reg = ioread32(ioaddr + 0xB8); 24 u32 new_csr6 = tp->csr6 & ~0x40C40200; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 25 26 if (phy_reg & 0x78000000) { /* Ignore baseT4 */ 27 if (phy_reg & 0x20000000) dev->if_port = 5; 28 else if (phy_reg & 0x40000000) dev->if_port = 3; 29 else if (phy_reg & 0x10000000) dev->if_port = 4; 30 else if (phy_reg & 0x08000000) dev->if_port = 0; 31 tp->nwayset = 1; 32 new_csr6 = (dev->if_port & 1) ? 0x01860000 : 0x00420000; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 33 iowrite32(0x32 | (dev->if_port & 1), ioaddr + CSR12); 34 if (dev->if_port & 1) 35 iowrite32(0x1F868, ioaddr + 0xB8); 36 if (phy_reg & 0x30000000) { 37 tp->full_duplex = 1; 38 new_csr6 |= 0x00000200; 39 } 40 if (tulip_debug > 1) 41 netdev_dbg(dev, "PNIC autonegotiated status %08x, %s\n", 42 phy_reg, medianame[dev->if_port]); 43 if (tp->csr6 != new_csr6) { 44 tp->csr6 = new_csr6; 45 /* Restart Tx */ 46 tulip_restart_rxtx(tp); 47 netif_trans_update(dev); 48 } 49 } 50 } regards, dan carpenter
