This is an enhancement work that began several years ago. I try to catchup with
some performance improvement that has been implemented then by Havard.
The ring index logic and the TX error path modification are the biggest changes
but some cleanup/debugging have been added along the way.
The GEM revision will benefit from the Gigabit support.
The series has been tested on several Atmel AT91 SoC with the two MACB/GEM
flavors.
v2: - modify the tx error handling: now uses a workqueue
- information provided by ethtool -i were not accurate: removed
Havard Skinnemoen (4):
net/macb: memory barriers cleanup
net/macb: change debugging messages
net/macb: clean up ring buffer logic
net/macb: Offset first RX buffer by two bytes
Nicolas Ferre (4):
net/macb: remove macb_get_drvinfo()
net/macb: tx status is more than 8 bits now
net/macb: ethtool interface: add register dump feature
net/macb: better manage tx errors
Patrice Vilchez (1):
net/macb: Add support for Gigabit Ethernet mode
