Subject: [PATCH v3] ibm_newemac: Fixes kernel crashes when speed of cable connected changes
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 10:58:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1214902685-10489-1-git-send-email-sr@denx.de> (raw)
From: Sathya Narayanan <sathyan@teamf1.com>
The descriptor pointers were not initialized to NIL values, so it was
poiniting to some random addresses which was completely invalid. This
fix takes care of initializing the descriptor to NIL values and clearing
the valid descriptors on clean ring operation.
