Re: [PATCH V3] net: emac: emac gigabit ethernet controller driver

Gilad is no longer working for Qualcomm, so I'm taking over (as best as 
I can) this driver.  Let's just say it's going to be a learning experience.

+Qualcomm EMAC Gigabit Ethernet Controller
+
+Required properties:
+- cell-index : EMAC controller instance number.
+- compatible : Should be "qcom,emac".
This should be more specific with the SOC name.
The emac is present on a lot of Qualcomm SOCs, and there are only a few 
variations of it.  It's not really SOC-specific, and the hardware 
version can be queried by the driver.

What did you have in mind?  I don't know even have a list of which SOCs 
has an emac, especially since it's mostly on MSM parts, and I work on 
the server SOC.
quoted
+- reg : Offset and length of the register regions for the device
+- reg-names : Register region names referenced in 'reg' above.
+	Required register resource entries are:
+	"base"   : EMAC controller base register block.
+	"csr"    : EMAC wrapper register block.
+	Optional register resource entries are:
+	"ptp"    : EMAC PTP (1588) register block.
+		   Required if 'qcom,emac-tstamp-en' is present.
+	"sgmii"  : EMAC SGMII PHY register block.
+- interrupts : Interrupt numbers used by this controller
+- interrupt-names : Interrupt resource names referenced in 'interrupts' above.
+	Required interrupt resource entries are:
+	"emac_core0"   : EMAC core0 interrupt.
+	"sgmii_irq"   : EMAC SGMII interrupt.
+- qcom,emac-gpio-mdc  : GPIO pin number of the MDC line of MDIO bus.
+- qcom,emac-gpio-mdio : GPIO pin number of the MDIO line of MDIO bus.
Use the standard binding for GPIO controlled MDIO bus.
I'm not familiar with that one.  Are you talking about 
bindings/net/mdio-gpio.txt?

+- phy-addr            : Specifies phy address on MDIO bus.
+			Required if the optional property "qcom,no-external-phy"
+			is not specified.
Don't you think you will need to know the specific phy device or other
properties of the phy?
That, I can't answer.  Aren't all MDIO devices basically the same?  It's 
been a while since I've worked on them.
quoted
+Optional properties:
+- qcom,emac-tstamp-en       : Enables the PTP (1588) timestamping feature.
+			      Include this only if PTP (1588) timestamping
+			      feature is needed. If included, "ptp" register
+			      base should be specified.
Isn't this a user enabled feature if the h/w supports it?
Is there a sysfs entry for that?  We were planning on having a similar 
ACPI property.
