[PATCH 2/2] Convert smsc911x to use ACPI as well as DT

[Jeremy Linton]

Marc,

Sorry about the delay, I didn't see this message.

|How did you get this to work? Firmware release?

Yes, it's a firmware problem with the ACPI tables. It is likely you need _DSD changes for the SMSC. If your trying to run juno with ACPI there are a few other ACPI table changes you will need beyond what was in the last linaro release. I wanted to just provide a direct link to the correct firmware in this response, but it seems the required version is sort of up in the air at the moment. Be assured I will really push on this next week, and will provide a follow up here.

Originally, the lack of DSD wasn't a problem, but as this patch evolved  the fact that it consolidates a number of configuration code paths balancing that got tricky, and ACPI machines with "bad" tables were the victims (rather than breaking something I can't control).

In the meantime, if this is blocking anyone I can provide instructions on how to update the required ACPI tables.

Thanks,
