When testing the FEC driver on a mx6solox we noticed that the TDAR bit gets always cleared prior then the READY bit is set in the last BD, which causes FEC transmission to fail.
As explained by Ye Li:
"The TDAR bit is set when the descriptors are all out from TX ring, but the descriptor properly is in transmitting not READY.
Again, I do not understand this sentence :-(
These are two signals, and in Ic simulation, we found the TDAR always clear prior than the READY bit of last BD.
And this is the behavior of which version of the FEC IP, the "old" one or the one present in MX6slx ?
In mx6solox, we use a latest version of FEC IP. It looks the intrinsic behave of TDAR bit is changed in this FEC version, not any bug in mx6sx."
Fix this by polling the READY bit of BD after the TDAR polling, which covers the mx6solox case and does not harm for the other SoCs.
