Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: enable features before registering the driver
Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2013 20:47:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130406184701.GA16142@1wt.eu> (raw)
Hi,
I noticed that mvneta's tx-csum/sg were off until disabled then
enabled, which led me to think that something was not made in the
correct sequence. And indeed, setting the dev features _before_
registering the device works much better :-)
This patch is for master but may be backported to 3.8-stable as well,
which is where I first experienced the issue.
Thanks,
Willy

Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: enable features before registering the driver,
not after
It seems that the reason why the dev features were ignored was because
they were enabled after registeration.
