I've been unfortunate to stumble over the MosChip 7830 USB2 10/100
Ethernet adapter. There was a driver for it provided on the manufacturer's
web site, but since I intend need to use the device in the future, I
decided to clean that driver up and get it into shape for inclusion.

The code below should fix the style issues that the original had, but
still has the same bug that it creates a storm of error interrupts
and transfers less than 10kb/s of data on average. I hope to
be able to fix that soon.

There was no copyright information or contact address in the 
vendor-provided driver, but it was obviously provided under
the terms of the GPL.

I copied over some code from the asix driver, maybe there is
potential to share the common code in the future.

These values are dupes of the MII_xxxx constants from linux/mii.h.  It
would be clearer and more consistent to use those instead

These values are device specific so you would want to define them here.
Following the MII_xxxxx naming convention may be helpful.

Does this need to be global?  Isn't it really just to prevent
simultaneous access to the adapters PHY?  What if you have multiple
adapters installed?

Couldn't you use usbnet_getendpoints() here.  It will also pick up the
status pipe.

use MII_BMSR here instead of the magic value '1'.

It's very rarely held, so I don't expect this to be a bottleneck,
even with a large number of adapters.

The implementation is slightly simpler this way, but I can move
the mutex to struct usbnet instead if you prefer.

Yes. usbnet_getendpoints() didn't work at first, but I think
I found the problem with it now. I'll change that once I
have the interrupts sorted out.

ok

This driver adds support for the DeLOCK USB ethernet adapter
and potentially others based on the MosChip MCS7830 chip.

It is based on the usbnet and asix drivers as well as the
original device driver provided by MosChip, which in turn
was based on the usbnet driver.

It has been tested successfully on an OHCI, but interestingly
there seems to be a problem with the mcs7830 when connected to
the ICH6/EHCI in my thinkpad: it keeps receiving lots of
broken packets in the RX interrupt. The problem goes away when
I'm using an active USB hub, so I assume it's not related to
the device driver, but rather to the hardware.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

---

This version incorporates a few cleanups from myself an changes
based on comments from David Hollis. In particular, it now has

- an rx_fixup function that removes an out-of-band data byte
  from each received packet.
- got rid of the status function, which did not do the right thing
  and is not needed in this driver.
- has a working set_multicast function, although that one always
  needs to set allmulticast mode in order to get the chip to
  receive any frames.
- doesn't use a private mutex in its mii functions, that functionality
  is added in a separate patch to usbnet.

Please merge the driver in 2.6.19!

When working on the mcs7830, I noticed the need for a mutex in its
mdio_read/mdio_write functions. A related problem seems to be present
in the asix driver in the respective functions.

This introduces a mutex in the common usbnet driver and uses it
from the two hardware specific drivers.

include/linux/mii.h also has defines for the flags for MII_ADVERTISE and
MII_BMCR:

So your 0x1200 can be 'BMCR_ANENABLE | BMCR_ANRESTART' for example.
Makes it easier to tell whats going on.

Other than that, it's looking pretty good.

This use the MII register constants provided
by the kernel instead of hardcoding numerical
values in the driver.

The mcs7830 chip always appends a byte with status information
to an rx frame, so the URB needs to reserve an extra byte.

Shouldn't you add VLAN_HLEN too, in case 802.1q is in use?

I'm not entirely sure how that's expected to work myself...

That is, the "status" polling which you disabled??  If so, please
update this comment ...

Looks basically OK to me, although I'd rather see the two patches
you posted on 27-August be merged into it before an upstream merge.
(To use normal MII constants, and handle max size frames.)

He has more experience than I do with respect to these sorts of
real Ethernet adapters and usbnet.  :)

Speaking of which ... isnt this driver missing a hook to make
the MII stuff visible through ethtool?

No, the receive errors are independent from the status interrupt.
I have now got confirmation by another user that they also
happen on a different thinkpad when not using a USB hub, but
with a hub everything seems fine.

Ok, I can resend.

hmm, I wasn't aware that ethtool does this. I did check that mii-tool
works though.

Going through the ethtool operations, I think that it should be
possible to implement a few of them, including ETHTOOL_GREGS,
ETHTOOL_GEEPROM, ETHTOOL_SEEPROM, ETHTOOL_NWAY_RST and ETHTOOL_GPERMADDR.
Do you think these should be done?

I don't know if I can expect that device to even do VLAN frames
correctly, the specs don't mention it at all.

There is however a mention of 'large frame whose length is >1518 Bytes',
so it might be good to allow larger frames anyway, though I can't find
any information about what maximum size is supported.

Odd.  Hardware issues, I guess ... I'd like to understand better
just why high speed peripherals are acting up on root hubs.  Maybe
it's flakey motherboards ...

Then my main concern is gone.

I've not got much use for those, but maybe the netdev folk would
care.  That's probably not enough to hold up any merge.

Definitely not showstoppers, but nice touches just to ensure that all
things work as expected.  The ones of most importance as I see it are
the get/set_settings ones, which you can just pass-thru to the
mii_ethtool_Xset() calls and get_drvinfo().  All others are somewhat
optional and do vary from device to device.
