[PATCH v8 0/3] netdev: octeon-ethernet: Add Cavium Octeon III support.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We are adding the Cavium OCTEON-III network driver.  Since interacting
with the input and output queues is done via special CPU local memory,
we also need to add support to the MIPS/Octeon architecture code.  The
four patch set to add this prerequisite code has been split out to a
seperate patch set sent to the mips-linux list.

A separate pull request was recently done by Steven Hill for the
firmware required by the driver.

Changes in v8:

o Fixed locking in bgx port functions as noted by davem.

o Corrected SPDX-License-Identifier tags.

o Split driver from prerequisite patches.

Changes in v7:

o There was no v7, we go to v8 to synchronize version numbers with
prerequisites.

Changes in v6:

o Added back cleanup patch for previous generation SoC "staging"
  driver, as Greg K-H acked it.

o Moved FPA driver to drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/octeon as it is
  currently only used by the octeon3-ethernet driver.

o Many code formatting fixes as noted by davem.

Changes in v5:

o Removed cleanup patch for previous generation SoC "staging" driver,
  as it will be sent as a follow-on.

o Fixed kernel doc formatting in all patches.

o Removed redundant licensing text boilerplate.

o Reviewed-by: header added to 2/7.

o Rewrote locking code in 3/7 to eliminate inline asm.

Changes in v4:

o Use phy_print_status() instead of open coding the equivalent.

o Print warning on phy mode mismatch.

o Improve dt-bindings and add Acked-by.

Changes in v3:

o Fix PKI (RX path) initialization to work with little endian kernel.

Changes in v2:

o Cleanup and use of standard bindings in the device tree bindings
  document.

o Added (hopefully) clarifying comments about several OCTEON
  architectural peculiarities.

o Removed unused testing code from the driver.

o Removed some module parameters that already default to the proper
  values.

o KConfig cleanup, including testing on x86_64, arm64 and mips.

o Fixed breakage to the driver for previous generation of OCTEON SoCs (in
  the staging directory still).

o Verified bisectability of the patch set.
