[U-Boot] [PATCH] ehci-hcd: Allow cleanups to happen on an EHCI timeout.

[U-Boot] [PATCH] ehci-hcd: Allow cleanups to happen on an EHCI timeout.

[Joel A Fernandes]

With this, the EHCI seems to "recover" from a timeout. This is particularly
observable if you were to ping the wrong IP Address and then ping the correct
one or if there was a temporary failure during tftp sessions.

All it takes is one timeout to disable it. If you have a noisy network (lot
of traffic), even if the traffic is not for the board, the timeouts don't occur.

Robert, Could you see if this patch solves the issue you're seeing without
increasing the timeout?
Simon, Could this be a fix for a similar issue you were seeing with asix?

The tftp session retrieves the uImage with your patch and a timeout of 5000:

Yes this is better (ASIX can recover from a timeout), but I am
concerned that it carries on without reporting an error. Is that
right?

Should we disable async schedule and then return an error?

With respect to using a bulk USB stick (some of which take 3s or more
to respond to a submit) this doesn't make any difference for me. It
seems to take a long time to respond the first time, so the 5s timeout
seems prudent.

Since this sorts out the network side we can probably skip that patch.

Regards,
Simon

[U-Boot] [PATCH] ehci-hcd: Allow cleanups to happen on an EHCI timeout.

Koen grabbed some patches I added that seemed to "fix" the tftpboot and ping 
problem for me:

https://github.com/koenkooi/u-boot
or my fork @ https://github.com/kylemanna/u-boot

I'd be interested to hear if adding the delay at the end of the smsc95xx 
init helped your problem at all.
