the following patches are what remains to be fixed in order to allow running a big-endian kernel on the Cubieboard2.
The first patch fixes up endianness problems with DMA descriptors in the stmmac driver preventing it from working correctly when runnning a big-endian kernel. The second patch adds the ability to enable diagnostic messages in the sun4i-emac driver which were instrumental in finding the problem fixed by patch number three: Endianness confusion caused by dual-purpose I/O register usage in sun4i-emac. All of these have been tested successfully on a Cubieboard2 DualCard. Changes since v4: - Rebased to current master - Removed already applied patches to sunxi-mmc and sunxi-Kconfig Changes since v3: - Rebased sunxi-mmc patch against Ulf's mmc.git/next - Changed Kconfig change to enable big-endian support only for sun7i devices Changes since v2: - Fixed typo in stmmac patch causing a build failure - Added sun4i-emac patches Changes since v1: - Fixed checkpatch niggles - Added respective Cc:s Regards, Michael Michael Weiser (3): net: ethernet: stmmac: change dma descriptors to __le32 net: ethernet: sun4i-emac: Allow to enable netif messages net: ethernet: sun4i-emac: Read rxhdr in CPU byte-order drivers/net/ethernet/allwinner/sun4i-emac.c | 25 ++++++++- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/chain_mode.c | 55 ++++++++++---------- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/descs.h | 20 ++++---- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/descs_com.h | 48 +++++++++-------- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac4_descs.c | 60 +++++++++++----------- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/enh_desc.c | 55 ++++++++++---------- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/norm_desc.c | 48 ++++++++--------- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/ring_mode.c | 39 +++++++------- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c | 51 +++++++++--------- 9 files changed, 218 insertions(+), 183 deletions(-) -- 2.9.3 (Apple Git-75)
