Driver for the Atmel MACB on-chip ethernet module.
Tested on AVR32/AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000. I've heard rumours that it works
with AT91SAM9260 as well, and it may be possible to share some code with
the at91_ether driver for AT91RM9200.
Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 data sheet,
which can be downloaded from
Changes since previous version:
* Probe for PHY ID instead of depending on it being provided through
platform_data.
* Grab initial ethernet address from the MACB registers instead
of depending on platform_data.
* Set MII/RMII mode correctly.
These changes are mostly about making the driver more compatible with
the at91 infrastructure.

[PATCH] Add tsi108/9 On Chip Ethernet device driver support
Add tsi108/9 on chip Ethernet controller driver support.
The driver code collects the feedback of previous posting form the mailing
list and gives the update.
MPC7448HPC2 platform in arch/powerpc uses tsi108 bridge.
The following is a brief description of the Ethernet controller:
The Tsi108/9 Ethernet Controller connects Switch Fabric to two independent
Gigabit Ethernet ports,E0 and E1. It uses a single Management interface to
manage the two physical connection devices (PHYs). Each Ethernet port has
its own statistics monitor that tracks and reports key interface
statistics. Each port supports a 256-entry hash table for address
filtering. In addition, each port is bridged to the Switch Fabric through
a 2-Kbyte transmit FIFO and a 4-Kbyte Receive FIFO.
Each Ethernet port also has a pair of internal Ethernet DMA channels to
support the transmit and receive data flows. The Ethernet DMA channels use
descriptors set up in memory, the memory map of the device, and access via
the Switch Fabric. The Ethernet Controller’s DMA arbiter handles
arbitration for the Switch Fabric. The Controller also has a register bus
interface for register accesses and status monitor control.
The PMD (Physical Media Device) interface operates in MII, GMII, or TBI
modes. The MII mode is used for connecting with 10 or 100 Mbit/s PMDs.
The GMII and TBI modes are used to connect with Gigabit PMDs. Internal
data flows to and from the Ethernet Controller through the Switch Fabric.
Each
Ethernet port uses its transmit and receive DMA channels to manage data
flows through buffer descriptors that are predefined by the system (the
descriptors can exist anywhere in the system memory map). These
descriptors are data structures that point to buffers filled with data
ready to transmit over Ethernet, or they point to empty buffers ready to
receive data from Ethernet.

Add a new dynamic itr algorithm, with 2 modes, and make it the default
operation mode. This greatly reduces latency and increases small packet
performance, at the "cost" of some CPU utilization. Bulk traffic
throughput is unaffected.
The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the
adapter will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a
value to the adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts
that the adapter will generate per second.
Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 will
program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts per
second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value
for all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and
latency. The hardware can handle many more small packets per second
however, and for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm
was implemented.
Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in
which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on
the traffic that it receives. After determining the type of incoming
traffic in the last timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate
to an appropriate value for that traffic.
The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate
value is adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are
three classes defined: "Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets
of normal size; "Low latency", for small amounts of traffic and/or
a significant percentage of small packets; and "Lowest latency",
for almost completely small packets or minimal traffic.
In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
set to 4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If
traffic falls in the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the
InterruptThrottleRate is increased stepwise to 20000. This default
mode is suitable for most applications.
For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or
grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when
InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates
the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased
stepwise to 70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency".
Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation
and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable
for bulk throughput traffic.

Vanilla forcedeth doesn't seem to support suspend and an ifdown/up-cycle is
needed to get it working again after suspend. Francois Romieu's "Awfully
experimental" patch is working just fine for me (with message signalled
interrupts disabled) and has survived quite a few suspend/resume cycles.
So I'd very much like to see (at least partial, with msi disabled)
suspend support for forcedeth in mainline.
This patch fixes a couple of problems discovered with interrupt handling
in the phylib core, namely:
1. The driver uses timer and workqueue calls, but does not include
<linux/timer.h> nor <linux/workqueue.h>.
2. The driver uses schedule_work() for handling interrupts, but does not
make sure any pending work scheduled thus has been completed before
driver's structures get freed from memory. This is especially
important as interrupts may keep arriving if the line is shared with
another PHY.
The solution is to ignore phy_interrupt() calls if the reported device
has already been halted and calling flush_scheduled_work() from
phy_stop_interrupts() (but guarded with current_is_keventd() in case
the function has been called through keventd from the MAC device's
close call to avoid a deadlock on the netlink lock).

This is almost a rewrite of the driver-model/platform.txt documentation;
the previous text was obsolete (for several years), evidently it never
got updated to match the change from being a PC "legacy_bus" to the more
widely used core bus for most embedded systems.

Driver core: platform_driver_probe(), can save codespace
This defines a new platform_driver_probe() method allowing the driver's
probe() method, and its support code+data, to safely live in __init
sections for typical system configurations.
Many system-on-chip processors could benefit from this API, to the tune
of recovering hundreds to thousands of bytes per driver. That's memory
which is currently wasted holding code which can never be called after
system startup, yet can not be removed. It can't be removed because of
the linkage requirement that pointers to init section code (like, ideally,
probe support) must not live in other sections (like driver method tables)
after those pointers would be invalid.

driver core: Introduce device_move(): move a device to a new parent.
Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add
auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir().
kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the
previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new
interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further
environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.

sysfs: sysfs_write_file() writes zero terminated data
since most of the files in sysfs are text files,
it would be nice, if the "store" function called
during sysfs_write_file() gets a zero terminated
string / data.
The current implementation seems not to ensure this.
(But only if it is the first time the zeroed buffer
page is allocated.)
So the buffer can be scanned by sscanf() easily,
for example.
This patch simply sets a \0 char behind the
data in buffer->page.

cpu topology: consider sysfs_create_group return value
Take return value of sysfs_create_group() into account. That function got
called in case of CPU_ONLINE notification. Since callbacks are not allowed
to fail on CPU_ONLINE notification do the sysfs group creation on
CPU_UP_PREPARE notification.
Also remember if creation succeeded in a bitmask. So it's possible to know
whether it's legal to call sysfs_remove_group or not.
In addition some other minor stuff:
- since CPU_UP_PREPARE might fail add CPU_UP_CANCELED handling as well.
- use hotcpu_notifier instead of register_hotcpu_notifier.
- #ifdef code that isn't needed in the !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU case.
Move the call to platform_notify_remove() to after the call to
bus_remove_device(), where it belongs. It's bogus to notify the platform
of removal while drivers are still attached to the device and possibly
still operating since the platform might use this callback to tear down
some resources used by the driver (ACPI bits, iommu table, ...)

Driver core: convert sound core to use struct device
Converts from using struct "class_device" to "struct device" making
everything show up properly in /sys/devices/ with symlinks from the
/sys/class directory.
It also makes the struct sound_card to show up as a "real" device
where all the different sound class devices are placed as childs
and different card attribute files can hang off of. /sys/class/sound is
still a flat directory, but the symlink targets of all devices belonging
to the same card, point the the /sys/devices tree below the new card
device object.
Thanks to Kay for the updates to this patch.
