On top of the Oct_2015 driver version committed into net-next, this patch fixes a problem for the HW where the normal descriptor are used at runtime instead of the Enhanced/Alternate descriptors. In the beginning, it was suggested to revert the patch: "stmmac: first frame prep at the end of xmit routine" and it has been noticed that w/o it the normal TDES 0 and 1 were good filled.
Then has been proposed this new fix (w/o reverting the patch above). Giuseppe Cavallaro (1): stmmac: fix TX normal DESC drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/norm_desc.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 1.7.4.4
