Based on original driver from chip manufacturer, but nearly full rewite. Tested and used in production with Blackfin BF531 embedded processor. Signed-off-by: Mike Sinkovsky <redacted> --- v6: - remove (S0_TX_FSR < skb->len) check in TX handler, it doesn't work anyway. Chip can transmit only one frame with MTU 1500 at a time, and tx buffer size is bigger.
So what happens if XXX frames are given to start_xmit() in a flood ? You removed any flow control, how can this work ? Device has an infinite queue ?
