Hi lists !
I measured the latency and the jitter of the RX and TX ethernet paths
on my MPC5200 board.
The RX path is quite good, but the TX path can be slow.
[ 1218.976762] [mpc52xx_fec_start_xmit]Delay 30us for dma_map_single

This patch changes u32 to __be32 for all ranges, prop and addr and
such. Those variables are pointing to the device tree which containts

Most functions are doing it right because of_read_number() is doing the
right thing for them. of_bus_isa_get_flags(),

The user must read N bytes of SPIRF (1 = N = 4) that do not exceed the
amount of data in the receive FIFO, so read the SPIRF byte by byte when
the data in receive FIFO is less than 4 bytes.
On Simics, when read N bytes that exceed the amout of data in receive
FIFO, we can't read the data out,
Hello all,
is it OK if I ask basic driver development questions here ?
Could you recommend a better forum for that maybe ?

A mb() is usually used if you do a write to device and read from it.
With out it, the CPU could perform the read before the write, which
would give you an incorrect result. There's no other way around that.
Possibly the synchronisation functions are doing significantly
more work than is

If they're basic _powerpc_ driver questions then this is probably the
right place.
But I'd say just ask and maybe someone will be able to help, or maybe
they'll point you somewhere else.

The 'isync' is particularly horrid and unnecessary (aborts
the instruction queue and refeches the opcode bytes).

It turns a data dependency into a flow dependency. It's basically equivalent
