[Anton Vorontsov]

Hi all,

Here are some more fixes and one small enhancement for the ucc_geth
driver.

Thanks,

[PATCH 1/3] ucc_geth: Fix empty TX queue processing

[Anton Vorontsov]

Following oops was seen with the ucc_geth driver:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000058
 Faulting instruction address: 0xc024f2fc
 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
 [...]
 NIP [c024f2fc] skb_recycle_check+0x14/0x100
 LR [e30aa0a4] ucc_geth_poll+0xd8/0x4e0 [ucc_geth_driver]
 Call Trace:

 [df857e60] [c00065cc] do_softirq+0xa0/0xac
 [...]

This is because ucc_geth_tx() tries to process an empty queue when
queues are logically stopped. Stopping the queues doesn't disable
polling, and since nowadays ucc_geth_tx() is actually called from
the polling routine, the oops above might pop up.

Fix this by removing 'netif_queue_stopped() == 0' check.

[PATCH 2/3] ucc_geth: Fix netdev watchdog triggering on link changes

[Anton Vorontsov]

Since commit 864fdf884e82bacbe8ca5e93bd43393a61d2e2b4 ("ucc_geth:
Fix hangs after switching from full to half duplex") ucc_geth driver
disables the controller during MAC configuration changes. Though,
disabling the controller might take quite awhile, and so the netdev
watchdog might get upset:

 [...]

This patch fixes the issue by detaching the netdev during the
time we change the configuration.

[PATCH 3/3] ucc_geth: Don't needlessly change MAC settings in adjust_link()

[Anton Vorontsov]

If PHY doesn't have an IRQ, phylib would poll for link changes, and
would call adjust_link() every second. In that case we disable and
enable the controller every second.

Let's better check if there is actually anything changed, and, if so,
change the MAC settings.
