Hi Michael,

I checked out the Linux git till the commit 'powerpc-4.3-1'

git checkout ff474e8ca8547d09cb82ebab56d4c96f9eea01ce

Output:

Checking out files: 100% (13843/13843), done.
Note: checking out 'ff474e8ca8547d09cb82ebab56d4c96f9eea01ce'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD ist jetzt bei ff474e8... Merge tag 'powerpc-4.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

The P.A. Semi Ethernet doesn't work with the powerpc-4.3-1 merge. I reverted this merge with:

git revert ff474e8ca8547d09cb82ebab56d4c96f9eea01ce -m 1

After that the P.A. Semi Ethernet works without any problems.

Cheers,

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for your answer. We tested some vanilla mainline 4.3 kernels on an Electra reference board. Additionally we tested some patched 4.3 kernels on our Nemo boards.

It would be really fantastic, if you could fix the problem.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi all,

We tested some 4.3 kernels on a P.A. Semi reference board. Ultimately,
ethernet does not work, though on the reference board, the interface is
detected, gets link, but will not pass any packets/traffic.

Somewhere in the source code of the commit "'powerpc-4.3-1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux (2015-09-03
23:41:38 (GMT)" is the problem.

Could you please help us to solve the problem?
Hi Christian,

Unfortunately there is no source code in that commit, it's just a merge. And
your bisect run found that the very first commit in that merge was OK:

[390fd5929f52bdfb9dfcc03820041ba556780f4a] cxl: Set up and enable PSL
git bisect good
So I'm not convinced your bisect run was correct, sorry.

My pasemi is booting OK, but I haven't had time to test the network. If you
remind me next week I will make sure network is working on my board.

Are you testing your board with your additional patch as well? Or just vanilla
mainline?

cheers
