Hi Wolfgang,

I'll try to make the timeout handling more precise. Your argument with
the watchdog is an interesting issue I forget completely. Thanks for the
hint.

Yes we should. I'll fix it.

yep.

yep.

yep.

@Michal: Is there any platform which can not halt the TEMAC? I have no
problem with this code but I left ETH_HALTING undefined from original
driver code. I would like to remove all the ETH_HALTING statements and
hold this code.

@Michal: Have you any objections?

@all: What is the meaning of mii_dev bus reset? What is expacted from
the perspective of the MII driver code?

yep.

Grr, ache on my head. I need one more look to the timeouts (see above).

You are completely right, but for more than one week I have not found
any practicable way to avoid duplicate code here. The only really good
approach would be to use private function pointers in struct ll_temac
for all the in_*/out_* calls we need in sdma code and refactor the DCR
code to use its special in_*/out_* functions with the same prototype.
This special 'DCR' function can map into indirect DCR access. But
unfortunately in_be32() and out_be32() for Microblaze are not real
functions. They are CPP defines :-(

I will review arch/microblaze/include/asm/io.h together with Michal.
Until then it would be nice if we could keep this code as it is. I will
fix the dublicate code if we have in/out functions -- no defines.
