Joe,
You need to move below line above the write memory barrier to get response
queue address write to register
qdev->rsp_q_size = NUM_RSP_Q_ENTRIES * sizeof(struct net_rsp_iocb);
Your patch will be like below:
<snip>
qdev->req_q_size =
(u32) (NUM_REQ_Q_ENTRIES * sizeof(struct ob_mac_iocb_req));
+ qdev->rsp_q_size = NUM_RSP_Q_ENTRIES * sizeof(struct net_rsp_iocb);
+
+ /*
+ * The barrier is required to ensure request and response queue
+ * addr writes to the registers.
+ */
+ wmb();
+
<\snip>
thanks,
Jiten
