No, these should remain in the Ethernet driver. Thats because no other driver depends on these. Those registers are MAC subsystem registers only. The ethernet driver does not do any interrupt setup for other devices.
Hi Manish,
first of all, forget about the yosemite, as I am no longer using it. I am currently working on our own platform port.
I did not know abt this. I have referred to Yosemite in the past posts
All the components of the Ethernet/GPI subsystem interrupt the CPU through the interrupt vector established by writing to the CPCFG0 and CPCFG1 registers. So if I want to write a driver that uses one of the GPIs, or the DUART, or a watchdog counter, or the two-bit interface, or any other component of the subsystem, then this driver will be dependent of the ethernet driver. Have a look at the manual if you do not believe me. The titan ethernet driver is the only one to use this interrupt _on_the_yosemite_, but this is only because all the other components are not used at all.
I will check the manual and get back. In case of Yosemite, the GE unit is the only one using this vector register.
The interrupt setup should definitly be in the platform - please reconsider your position.
thanks, Thomas
Thanks Manish Lachwani
