From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit d9317aea16ecec7694271ef11fb7791a0f0d9cc5 upstream. As part of a workaround for a hardware erratum in the SFC9100 family (SF bug 35388), the TX_DESC_UPD_DWORD register address is also used for communicating with the event block, and only descriptor pointer values < 2048 are valid. If the TX DMA ring size is increased to 4096 descriptors (which the firmware still allows) then we may write a descriptor pointer value >= 2048, which has entirely different and undesirable effects! Limit the TX DMA ring size correctly when this workaround is in effect.
