This will not work. The main stmmac driver already uses the driver_data field.
See: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c#L3218


> +       return stmmac_dvr_probe(&pdev->dev, plat_dat, &stmmac_res);

So calling stmmac_dvr_probe here will overwrite the driver_data field.

Did you test this code? I am pretty sure it will blow up given that
driver_data is not set to what you expect.

To get your meson8b_dwmac struct you must retrieve it from plat_dat->bsp_priv.


I have some code for a helper to retrieve bsp_priv that I have meant
to sent to the ML for a while now.
See: https://github.com/manabian/linux-lpc/commit/c3e155a6e38b9634e4e61aa4eeb4602ede7e44a6

Feel free to add it to your patch set if you want.

Alternatively take a look at the remove function from dwmac-stm32 here:
