[PATCH net-next v13 13/15] net: stmmac: dwmac-loongson: Drop pci_enable/disable_msi temporarily
You don't drop the methods call "temporarily" but forever. So fix
the subject like this please:
[PATCH net-next v13 13/15] net: stmmac: dwmac-loongson: Drop pci_enable_msi/disable_msi methods call

I understand that you meant that the MSI IRQs support will be
added later in framework of another commit and for the multi-channel
device case. But mentioning that in a way you did makes the commit log
more confusing than better explaining the change.

The LS2K2000 patch added later will alloc vectors, so let's
remove pci_enable/disable_msi temporarily to prepare for later
calls to pci_alloc_irq_vectors/pci_free_irq_vectors. This does
not affect the work of gmac devices, as they actually use intx.
As I mentioned in v12 AFAICS the MSI IRQs haven't been utilized on the
Loongseon GMAC devices so far since the IRQ numbers have been retrieved
directly from device DT-node. That's what you should have mentioned in
the log. Like this:
"The Loongson GMAC driver currently doesn't utilize the MSI IRQs, but
retrieves the IRQs specified in the device DT-node. Let's drop the
direct pci_enable_msi()/pci_disable_msi() calls then as redundant."

If what I said was correct and MSIs enable wasn't required for the
platform IRQs to work, then please use the log and move this patch to
being submitted between
[PATCH net-next v13 04/15] net: stmmac: dwmac-loongson: Drop duplicated hash-based filter size init
and
[PATCH net-next v13 05/15] net: stmmac: dwmac-loongson: Use PCI_DEVICE_DATA() macro for device identification

so the redundant pci_enable_msi()/pci_disable_msi() code wouldn't be
getting on a way of the subsequent preparation changes.
Ok, Thanks!


Thanks,
