Thank you for testing this. Unfortunately, I have no P-series hardware,

hoped that this would get tested by someone with the hardware (at NXP)
before now, but it seems you get to be the "lucky" first user.

I see you have labeled one of your kernels as supporting QEMU.  Do you
happen to have instructions for running Linux on QEMU?

Can you try the following patch. I think my mail client will mangle it,  so I have also attached it to this email.

Hi Sean,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I use the virtio-net device in a virtual e5500 QEMU/KVM HV machine. [1] [2]

I will test your patch as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Sean,

I tested your patch with the RC2 today but unfortunately the kernel doesn't link after compiling.

Error messages:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1

Maybe it is not an issue because of the patch because the RC1 compilied and linked with the patch.

@Dave
Please test the RC1 with Sean's patch.

Hi Sean,

Dave successfully tested the DPAA Ethernet with the patched RC1 on his P5020 board (X5000) today.

Link to the test thread: https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?p=56360#p56360

Your patch has solved the issue. Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Christian
