[patch 2.6.13-git3 2/5] sis190: recent chipsets from SiS include a RGMII

Extracted from SiS's GPLed driver. From the few pdf available at SiS's, it seems that the 965 and the 966 south bridge include this interface whereas the 965L (and anything below) does not. It is expected to be a sis191 related feature and should not hurt the existing sis190 driver. Signed-off-by:

The sis191 is the gigabit brother of the sis190. SiS's driver suggests that the register set is backward compatible: this should hopefully give a basic driver. The device should allow the usual features from a modern ethernet adapter (802.1q, SG, Jumbo frames, TSO, checksum offload). So far the re

This patch does three things: - widen the access to the StationControl register (note the SIS_W16 versus SIS_W32 change); - default to 10Mbps half duplex when the LPA can not be evaluated (reg31->ctl is identical for both). It can be argued that it makes sense as the lowest common denominator
