plat-orion problems with mv643xx_eth.c for mv78xx0

Orion maintainers, config MV643XX_ETH can be selected for Discovery series chips (mv78xx0), but it has some problems. 1. Register PSC1 (0x44C) bit 4 is named port_reset. It defaults to 1 "port is reset". The documentation does not explain this bit, but the example code clears the bit to "port is not in reset". I needed to do the same thing and clear this bit on each port to get ethernet working: ===================================================================
--- mv643xx_eth.c
+++ mv643xx_eth.c@@ -2597,6 +2597,9 @@ if (msp->base == NULL) goto out_free; + // Take the part out of reset? + writel(readl(msp->base + 0x44C) & (~(1 << 4)), msp->base + 0x44C); + /* * Set up and register SMI bus. */
2. This is confusing, but not an error. There's a variable port_number in mv643xx_eth_platform_data that MUST be zero for each port on a Discovery (MV78xx0) series processor. The printk will say "port 0" for all 4 ports, but it must be zero so the driver calculates a valid offset. This probably deserves a comment or a change in the printk. 3. This is confusing, but not an error. File mach/mv78xx0.h defines each ethernet port's base address like GE00_PHYS_BASE at the wrong address. Then orion_ge00_init() in plat-orion/common.c adds a magic 0x2000 constant which results in the correct address. This probably deserves a comment because the header defines incorrect addresses. 4. Each processor varies in support for MII, GMII, and RGMII interfaces. Function phy_init() calls phy_attach() which is hardcoded for PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII. This depends on the board and can be different for each port, so it should probably be specified in the platform data instead of hardcoded. -joey
