[U-Boot-Users] AGAIN: need help for LAN91C111 driver

[Stephan Linz]

Hi all,

I've found unexpected code inside of smc_send_packet() in file 
drivers/smc91111.c (near line 585-590):

	/* send the packet length ( +6 for status, length and ctl byte )
	   and the status word ( set to zeros ) */
#ifdef USE_32_BIT
	SMC_outl ((length + 6) << 16, SMC91111_DATA_REG);
#else
	SMC_outw (0, SMC91111_DATA_REG);
	/* send the packet length ( +6 for status words, length, and ctl */
	SMC_outw ((length + 6), SMC91111_DATA_REG);
#endif

This code assembles the header of a data frame for transmission. My SMSC 
manual says about the BYTE COUNTER: "... alway even ...", Hmm , this code 
will put in even and odd length arguments. "length" should be replaced with 
"(length & 0xfffe)", the same code at top of function for page number 
calculation.

What's your opinion?


Best regards
