Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: xilinx: axienet: Treat xlnx,rxmem as a required property
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 22:32:53 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806170253.1199749-1-suraj.gupta2@amd.com> (raw)

"xlnx,rxmem" device-tree property is used to learn the size of the Rx/Tx
packet buffer built into the ethernet IP, but return value of
of_property_read_u32() is ignored. When the property is absent lp->rxmem is
left at 0, which silently limits the interface to the default MTU and
disables jumbo frames with no indication of the misconfiguration.

"xlnx,rxmem" has been documented as a required property since the binding
was introduced. Check the return value of of_property_read_u32() and fail
probe when the property is missing, so a misconfigured device tree is
reported rather than silently degrading functionality.
