[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 1/2] net: fec_mxc: Adjust RX DMA alignment for mx6solox

[Fabio Estevam]

mx6solox has a requirement for 64 bytes alignment for RX DMA transfer.
Other SoCs work with the standard 32 bytes alignment.

Adjust it accordingly by using 64 bytes aligment in the FEC RX DMA buffers, 
which addresses the needs from mx6solox and also works for the other SoCs.

Changes since v2:
- Use 64 bit alignment which covers mx6solox and the other SoCs as suggested
by Stefan Roese

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 2/2] net: fec_mxc: Poll FEC_TBD_READY after polling TDAR

[Fabio Estevam]

When testing the FEC driver on a mx6solox we noticed that the TDAR bit gets
always cleared prior then the READY bit is set in the last BD, which causes
FEC transmission to fail.

As explained by Ye Li:

"The TDAR bit is set when the descriptors are all out from TX ring, but the
descriptor properly is in transmitting not READY. These are two signals, and in
Ic simulation, we found the TDAR always clear prior than the READY bit of last
BD. In mx6solox, we use a latest version of FEC IP. It looks the intrinsic 
behave of TDAR bit is changed in this FEC version, not any bug in mx6sx."

Fix this by polling the READY bit of BD after the TDAR polling, which covers the
mx6solox case and does not harm for the other SoCs.

Isn't MX6SX ARMv7 with 64-byte cacheline alignment anyway ? So isn't there 
something completely else broken on MX6SX ?

This will never work, because you never invalidate the memory over the DMA 
descriptor here.

And here you invalidate it for no reason ;-)

Thanks for the review, Marek.

Inspecting this further I think the correct fix would be:
