From 7ee4062562bae8f248f0aa72dfb3023ddea65942 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petri Gynther Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 14:00:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: bcmgenet: cleanup for dmadesc_set() dmadesc_set() is used for setting the Tx buffer DMA address, length, and status bits on a Tx ring descriptor when a frame is being Tx'ed. Always set the Tx buffer DMA address first, before updating the length and status bits, i.e. giving the Tx descriptor to the hardware. The reason this is a cleanup rather than a fix is that the hardware won't transmit anything from a Tx ring until the TDMA producer index has been incremented. As long as the dmadesc_set() writes complete before the TDMA producer index write, life is good. Signed-off-by: Petri Gynther Acked-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.
