Hi Richard,

I tested it successfully on cubieboard 1GB, on top of kernel 3.10-rc3,

I also added in sun4i-a10-cubieboard.dts
phy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
 reg = <1>;
},
like Emilio suggested.

running an iperf, there's some good perfs !
iperf -s

Server listening on TCP port 5001

[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec   112 MBytes  94.1 Mbits/sec

That's great ! with this patchset, we can now run a server with a
vanilla kernel ( who needs more that a serial port and ethernet,
really ? ;) )

Tested-by: Richard Genoud <redacted>
Thanks for testing this.

Did you look at the load while iperf was running? I guess we can expect
it to be pretty high since it runs without DMA.
