Wouldn't it be better to move the stmmac_ptp_register() call out to stmmac_hw_setup()? That way we don't need to pass extra arguments to init. > return 0; > } > @@ -3241,7 +3243,7 @@ static int stmmac_fpe_start_wq(struct stmmac_priv *priv) > /** > * stmmac_hw_setup - setup mac in a usable state. > * @dev : pointer to the device structure. > - * @init_ptp: initialize PTP if set > + * @ptp_register: register PTP if set > * Description: > * this is the main function to setup the HW in a usable state because the > * dma engine is reset, the core registers are configured (e.g. AXI, > @@ -3251,7 +3253,7 @@ static int stmmac_fpe_start_wq(struct stmmac_priv *priv) > * 0 on success and an appropriate (-)ve integer as defined in errno.h > * file on failure. > */ > -static int stmmac_hw_setup(struct net_device *dev, bool init_ptp) > +static int stmmac_hw_setup(struct net_device *dev, bool ptp_register) > { > struct stmmac_priv *priv = netdev_priv(dev); > u32 rx_cnt = priv->plat->rx_queues_to_use; > @@ -3308,13 +3310,11 @@ static int stmmac_hw_setup(struct net_device *dev, bool init_ptp) > > stmmac_mmc_setup(priv); > > - if (init_ptp) { > - ret = stmmac_init_ptp(priv); > - if (ret == -EOPNOTSUPP) > - netdev_warn(priv->dev, "PTP not supported by HW\n"); > - else if (ret) > - netdev_warn(priv->dev, "PTP init failed\n"); > - } > + ret = stmmac_init_ptp(priv, ptp_register); > + if (ret == -EOPNOTSUPP) > + netdev_warn(priv->dev, "PTP not supported by HW\n"); > + else if (ret) > + netdev_warn(priv->dev, "PTP init failed\n");
