Hi all,
I need some help here...
I'm working on adding a driver for KSZ8841 ethernet controller which I found at this forum: blackfin.uclinux.org.
I was looking at the mail list archive and found a message from Prafulla answering Raphael Amorin.
Mr. Prafulla suggested him to add the input code into drivers/net/phy/ and public interfaces in netdev.h
Since drivers/net/phy/ does not exist anymore, I'm assuming that input code should go to drivers/net/ instead.
Huh? drivers/net/phy does exist... But the KS8841 is a MAC/PHY, so belongs in driver/net proper.
But what about the public interfaces (aka. eth_init, eth_send)? Where should it go?
You're using an out-of-date API. Please read the documentation (doc/README.drivers.eth)
I actually wrote a driver for this controller a few years ago, but didn't submit it because at the time it didn't make sense to submit my board and we don't allow bare drivers (ones for which there is no in-tree board). If you'd like, I can clean up the driver and send it to you, and then put it in the tree. Unfortunately I don't have hardware to test it on anymore.
Thanks for your time, Best regards, Douglas
