Bin,
I expect LS1021A board maintainers to chime in.
Would you please comment on this? Thanks!
Ping ...
Bin,
Our TSEC driver owner Claudiu Manoil (CC'ed) plans to work on the driver a while later.
Do you have ETA of the DM ETH conversion for LS1021ATWR board?
Hi, No ETA right now. There's not only the LS1021ATRW board, there are also a lot of legacy PowerPC platforms that would have to be converted too. All the platforms featuring the TSEC h/w will have to be verified as well. Converting the TSEC driver to work only for the ls1 twr board will break the other platforms. Is there a urgent need to move to the new DM ETH model? Ensuring backward compatibility, not breaking legacy platforms is the most important part here and I don't have the bandwidth to do that right now.
There might be some misunderstanding here. The TSEC driver has already been converted to DM ETH. The driver supports both non-DM and DM. The remaining work is to update LS1021ATWR board codes (ie: board device tree file) to support DM ETH TSEC driver. These won't break the legacy PowerPC platform. PowerPC conversion to DM ETH TSEC driver can be done later.
Regards, Bin
