The feedback is very welcome. Mostly was trying to use what is already in the kernel, and not to reinvent the wheel. I wouldn't say I've completely done with it. Few SGDMA related ioctls to add (should be fairly straightforward). And to check the advertised capabilities - as I wrote in the previous posting, it looks like the driver stops advertising 1000Mbits at some point (after turning auto negotiation off, switching to the lower speeds, and trying to go back to 1000Mbits). > I'm only publishing my tree as a > convienient starting point for those who need it. > > Ideally, I'd like to look at doing a full rewrite so it's in a > condition acceptable for mainline, but I don't have time for that at > the moment. I am not certain if the "linux adapter plus the OS independent code" could easily be accepted (provided that the OS independent code is reformatted as much as possible to fit into the community). Afraid complete rewrite is fairly large effort, and, moreover, so far PLB TEMAC has been significantly changing from one EDK release to the next. So one could have to rewrite considerable parts of the driver every EDK release. Would be nice to reuse the man-hours Xilinx put in their OS indpendent code.
