Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] net: See to it that sent data is aligned to the ethernet controllers wishes

Well, that's what the other patch I sent does (the link above), but there were wishes then to handle this above the driver layer, hence this patch :-)

I'm fine with either way, but if there are other drivers with alignment requirements, I'd prefer this variant.

I believe some Freescale's CPM/QE controllers need care the alignement requirement.

If you don't care the performance, you can malloc memory to get the aligned buffer pool in the initiaize phase, then use the buffer pool to resolve your alignment issue, of course It needs a copy, but it avoids to malloc/free buffer in run-time.
