But this doesn't work: core_init and adjust callbacks are called too late / not at the appropriate time. Here, I need the PS to be set after asserting the DMA reset bit but *before* polling for the DMA reset bit to clear. I.e, I need: int dwmac_dma_reset(void __iomem *ioaddr, struct mac_device_info *hw, phy_interface_t interface) { u32 value = readl(ioaddr + DMA_BUS_MODE); int limit; /* DMA SW reset */ value |= DMA_BUS_MODE_SFT_RESET; writel(value, ioaddr + DMA_BUS_MODE); /* ===> PS must be set here when the PHY interface is MII */ limit = 10; while (limit--) { if (!(readl(ioaddr + DMA_BUS_MODE) & DMA_BUS_MODE_SFT_RESET)) break; mdelay(10); } if (limit < 0) return -EBUSY; return 0; } Setting PS *before* asserting the DMA reset bit doesn't work, because asserting the DMA reset bit clears all bits in all registers. Setting PS *after* waiting for the DMA reset bit to clear doesn't work, because this bit never clears if the PS configuration is not correct with the regard to the PHY being used (which was my original problem). Am I missing something here? Best regards, Thomas Petazzoni -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
