I did not notice that, sorry! But naming suggestions are welcome
:)
Right now, I use it in two unrelated spots however.
from the fdt as seen above and in a subclass driver (which will
come up
for review) as suggested by Simon.
There I do:
+static int sunxi_gmac_eth_read_rom_hwaddr(struct udevice *dev) +{
struct eth_pdata *pdata = dev_get_platdata(dev);return board_get_enetaddr(dev->seq, pdata->enetaddr);+}
- const struct eth_ops sunxi_gmac_eth_ops = { .start = designware_eth_start, .send = designware_eth_send,
@@ -102,6 +110,7 @@ const struct eth_ops sunxi_gmac_eth_ops = { .free_pkt = designware_eth_free_pkt, .stop = designware_eth_stop, .write_hwaddr = designware_eth_write_hwaddr,
.read_rom_hwaddr = sunxi_gmac_eth_read_rom_hwaddr,which is completly unrelated to the fdt.
So naming suggestion or overal suggestion how to handle this nice
and
generically?
Based from the name however I would think that all
board_get_enetaddr's
work the same however so should have been interchangeable? Or was that
silly
thinking?
Would it be possible to use a name without 'board' in it? I think
this
/ hope is actually sunxi-specific code, not board-specific?
You are actually correct, we take the serial number of the SoC
(sunxi
specific) and generate a serial/MAC from it. So nothing to do with
the
board. So I can just name it sunxi_gen_enetaddr(). Would that be
then
(much)
better?
The reason why I went to 'board' with my mind, is because a) the
original
mac gen code and b) the location was in board/sunxi/board.c. I
think
it is
thus also sensible to move it out of board/sunxi/board.c as indeed,
it has
nothing to do with board(s).
That sounds good to me - and you should be able to call it directly from the driver and avoid any weak functions, right?
The subclass driver can, the fdt fixup however still needs a weak
fdt_get_enetaddr()? (Which in our case calls then sunxi_get_enetaddr() i think.)
OK - I feel that the fdt fixups need a bit of thought. At the moment it is all pretty ad-hoc.
Yeah i think i agree, but i guess thats a separate cleanup step generally, no?
