The Atheros 8031 PHY supports the 802.3 extension for symmetric and asymmetric pause frames, so set that to the list of features supported by the phy.
Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <ti...@codeaurora.org> --- Without this patch, my NIC (the Qualcomm EMAC) receives a lot of frame check sequence (aka CRC) errors, resulting in about 10% packet loss. Can someone help me understand why? Because of this patch, I can't use the generic phy driver in phylib. Why would a MAC controller require its PHY to support pause frames? drivers/net/phy/at803x.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/at803x.c b/drivers/net/phy/at803x.c index a52b560..fb80413 100644 --- a/drivers/net/phy/at803x.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/at803x.c @@ -440,7 +440,8 @@ static struct phy_driver at803x_driver[] = { .get_wol = at803x_get_wol, .suspend = at803x_suspend, .resume = at803x_resume, - .features = PHY_GBIT_FEATURES, + .features = PHY_GBIT_FEATURES | + SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause, .flags = PHY_HAS_INTERRUPT, .config_aneg = genphy_config_aneg, .read_status = genphy_read_status, -- Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc. as an affiliate of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
