Re: [PATCH net] net: stmmac: Avoid DMA_CHAN_CONTROL write if no Split Header support

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (master)

The driver assumes that split headers can be enabled/disabled without
stopping/starting the device, so it writes DMA_CHAN_CONTROL from
stmmac_set_features().  However, on my system (IP v5.10a without Split
Header support), simply writing DMA_CHAN_CONTROL when DMA is running
(for example, with the commands below) leads to a TX watchdog timeout.

 host$ socat TCP-LISTEN:1024,fork,reuseaddr - &
 device$ ethtool -K eth0 tso off
 device$ ethtool -K eth0 tso on
 device$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10 | socat - TCP4:host:1024
 <tx watchdog timeout>

[...]
