Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] Freescale QE UCC gigabit ethernet driver
Nack. Here are some high level things that should be addressed:
* There is a ton of debug code that should probably be stripped out,
such as dump_regs, etc..
The reason I left these debug code in is that, QE is very flexible.
User probably needs to fine tune parameters for their own application.
It will be good to give them some clue doing that. It's fine to
remove
them, if you do think they are too verbose.
Then I suggest you look at debugfs.
* The phy support should use the phylib instead
I'll do this when I do get some time. ;)
* convert from being a platform_device to of_device
I'm not up against moving to use of_device. But why are we putting
extra effort in closing the door to backward compatibility with ppc
arch, and doesn't provide any new feature. ;)
Because the intent is for arch/ppc to go away in the future. You are
introducing a new driver and a new platform, this is the ideal time
for us to use of_device. The benefits are that the driver is the
ideal place to parse the details of the device node rather than
platform code in arch/powerpc.
