But if you aren't comfortable with such naming we can change the macro to something like: #define DWMAC_CORE_LOONGSON_MULTI_CH 0x10Maybe DWMAC_CORE_LOONGSON_MULTICHAN or DWMAC_CORE_LOONGSON_MULTI_CHAN is a little better?Well, I don't have a strong opinion about that in this case. Personally I prefer to have the shortest and still readable version. It decreases the probability of the lines splitting in case of the long-line statements or highly indented code. From that perspective something like DWMAC_CORE_LS_MULTI_CH would be even better. But seeing the driver currently don't have such cases, we can use any of those name. But it's better to be of such length so the code lines the name is utilized in wouldn't exceed +80 chars.Okay. I added an indent before 0xXX and left three Spaces before the comment, which uses huacai's MULTICHAN and doesn't exceed 80 chars.I meant that it's better to have the length of the macro name so !the code where it's utilized! wouldn't exceed +80 chars. That's the criteria for the upper length boundary I normally follow in such cases.Oh, I see! Hmm, let's compare the two options: DWMAC_CORE_LS_MULTI_CH DWMAC_CORE_LS_MULTICHAN With just one more char, the increased readability seems to be worth it.If you really like short names, please use DWMAC_CORE_MULTICHAN. LS has no valuable meaning in this loongson-specific file.At least some version of the Loongson vendor name should be in the macro. Omitting it may cause a confusion since the name would turn to a too generic form. Seeing the multi DMA-channels feature is the Synopsys invention, should you meet the macro like DWMAC_CORE_MULTI_CH in the code that may cause an impression that there is a special Synopsys DW MAC ID for that. Meanwhile in fact the custom ID is specific for the Loongson GMAC/GNET controllers only.
Well, I prefer DWMAC_CORE_LOONGSON_MULTI_CHAN / DWMAC_CORE_LOONGSON_MULTICHAN / DWMAC_CORE_LOONGSON_MCH / DWMAC_CORE_MULTICHAN, But I also accept DWMAC_CORE_LS_MULTI_CHAN / DWMAC_CORE_LS_MULTICHAN, But I can't accept DWMAC_CORE_LS2K2000. Huacai
