[PATCH v2 2/2] ARM: kirkwood: fix to retain gbe MAC addresses for DT kernels

Wed Jan 30 15:29:58 EST 2013


The ethernet controller used on kirkwood looses its MAC address
register contents when the corresponding clock is gated. As soon as
mv643xx_eth is built as module, the clock gets gated and when loading
the module, the MAC address is gone.

Proper DT support for the mv643xx_eth driver is expected soon, so we add
a workaround to always enable ge0/ge1 clocks on kirkwood. This workaround
is also already used on non-DT kirkwood kernels.

Changelog:
[v2]
- add note in patch description that MAC address is lost only when using
  modular driver
- add note in patch description that the workaround will be removed soon
