Hi Sebastion,

1. Initialize the spinlock
2. Fix the following spinlock recursion:

We call from inet context (fec_enet_interrupt, holding the spinlock) the
first callback (which is mii_discover_phy(), initialized in fec_enet_init()).
mii_discover_phy() calls mii_queue() which takes the spinlock again, boom.
The fix is to drop the spinlock in interrupt context after the list
modification.

3. Use spin_unlock_irq / spin_lock_irq in the IRQ functions (IRQ is not
registered with the IRQ off flag) and  dev->hard_start_xmit callback.
4. Use the .*_irqsave variant in that part which may be called from IRQ or
user mode.

I couldn't see any changes here that switched to use *_irqsave?

Regards
Greg
