It is observed on SPEAr320S RMII#1 interface that on transmitting packets the MAC dma hangs randomly and constantly showing busy tx-go state.
It comes out if this situation only when Transmission is disabled and enabled again.
Since it happens randomly and u-boot doesn't require high performance we disable TE and re-enable it on each transmission. We also change number of transmit descriptor to 1 as we would not require more than it, further it would not alter GMAC notion of transmit descriptor start queue as it always point to same descriptor.

Tested on Atmel EK board. It works.
Tested-by: Bo Shen voice.shen@atmel.com
BTW, would this be implemented as a workaround only for SPEAr320S?
Best Regards, Bo Shen

This patch did not reappear in later versions of the series, and no other standalone patch seems to match it. Was it dropped?
Ping?
Amicalement,
