+You should generall not use bitfields in hardware data structures, as that is not endian safe and will prevent running a big-endian kernel on this machine. Better convert this to a set of __le32 fields and explicit shifts and masks. Two smaller things you should think about, I'm not entirely sure about these:
+static int hix5hd2_rx(struct net_device *dev, int limit)
+{
+ struct hix5hd2_priv *priv = netdev_priv(dev);
+ struct sk_buff *skb;
+ struct hix5hd2_desc *desc;
+ dma_addr_t dma_addr;
+ u32 start, end, num, pos, i, len;
+
+ /* software read pointer */
+ start = dma_cnt(readl_relaxed(priv->base + RX_BQ_RD_ADDR));
+ /* logic write pointer */
+ end = dma_cnt(readl_relaxed(priv->base + RX_BQ_WR_ADDR));I think one of these needs to be readl() instead of readl_relaxed(), to ensure the data is correctly ordered with regard to the pointer access.
+ if (pos != start) + writel(dma_byte(pos), priv->base + TX_RQ_RD_ADDR);
While this looks like it could be writel_relaxed(). Arnd
