Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: stmmac: ethtool: Comment the magic numbers in RIWT computation
Date: Sun,  2 Aug 2026 13:40:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802114015.214212-2-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260802114015.214212-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com>

Receive Interrupt Watchdog Timer is an RX interrupt coalescing mechanism
used by some variants of dwmac. It allows waiting a bit before
triggering the rx interrupts, allowing for batch processing.

The RIWT is configured with a granularity of 256 stmmac clk ticks. Let's
add a comment for that and wrap the raw "1000000" into USEC_PER_SEC, as
we're computing "how many clock cycles in one microsec" with that step.
