work fine on 9263ek except the IP version detection. the at91 macb ip version is supposed to be at 0x0601010C but it's not. At least on 9263 it's 0x0001010C. So we can not detect the arch at runtime but we can detect that it's a macb. So could keep the ifdef for 2 archs but use the ip version on armOK, well I think my patches are already doing that so should be OK as they are. Russell, are you able to take these through your tree (I think they count as consolidation work) or should I ask Stephen for a tree in linux-next for a while first?no please do not us the is_gem but the same way as I did in the ip detection keep the version register and then check it. as this ip can be used on other arch we do not want to see thousands of is_xxx
But GEM isn't an architecture/machine type, it's a new Cadence Ethernet controller that follows on from MACB, not some arch specific tweaks so we really only have two options - MACB or GEM. Still, if it's important to you then I'll make the change. Jamie
