Hi All,
I have tested the PA Semi Ethernet with the kernels 4.2.3 and 4.3.0
today. With the kernel 4.2.3 it works but with the kernel 4.3.0 final it
doesn't work.
After that I tested some git kernels and release candidates of 4.3.
Kernel 4.3 git from Tue Sep 01, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet works
Kernel 4.3 git from Wed Sep 02, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet works
Kernel 4.3 git from Thu Sep 03, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet works
Kernel 4.3 git from Fri Sep 04, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet doesn't work
(Merge tag 'powerpc-4.3-1':
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ff474e8ca8547d09cb82ebab56d4c96f9eea01ce)
Kernel 4.3 git from Sat Sep 05, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet doesn't work
Kernel 4.3 git from Mon Sep 07, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet doesn't work
Kernel 4.3 git from Wed Sep 09, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet doesn't work
Kernel 4.3 git from Fri Sep 11, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet doesn't work
Kernel 4.3 RC1 from Sun Sep 13, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet doesn't work
Kernel 4.3 RC2 from Mon Sep 21, 2015 -> PA Semi Ethernet doesn't work
The problematic commit must be between Thu Sep 03, 2015 at 09:37 AM (UTC
+2) and Fri Sep 04, 2015 at 7:38 PM (UTC +2) in the linux git.

Hi Denis,
Thank you for your answer. Sorry because of my description.
Yes, the driver probe function finds the device.
With kernel 4.4-rc3:
dmesg | grep -i eth0
[ 2.297473] eth0: PA Semi GMAC: intf 5, hw addr 02:00:e0:0a:30:00
dhclient eth0
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
With kernel 4.1.13:
dmesg | grep -i eth0
[ 2.328115] eth0: PA Semi GMAC: intf 5, hw addr 02:00:e0:0a:30:00
[ 37.130466] eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
Cheers,

Hi All,
Does the ethernet interface on your Electra, Chitra, Nemo, and Athena
board work with the release candidates of the kernel 4.4? Unfortunately
the P.A. Semi ethernet doesn't work on our Nemo boards with the release
candidates of the kernel 4.4. We have set the following entries in the
kernel config:
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_PASEMI=y
CONFIG_PASEMI_MAC=y
Could you please test the P.A. Semi ethernet on your P.A. Semi boards?
It's not clear from your descriptions what is not working. Does the
driver probe function find a device? Does the interface show up in
the kernel? Can it send/receive packets?
Also please CC netdev.
Thanks.
Thanks in advance,
Christian
