> This patch fixes the order of mac_up and sgmii_open for the > reasons noted below: > > - If open takes more time(if the SGMII block is not responding or > if we want to do some delay based task) in this situation we > will hit NETDEV watchdog > - The main reason : We should signal to upper layers that we are > ready to receive packets "only" when the entire path is initialized > not the other way around, this is followed in the reset path where > we do mac_down, sgmii_reset and mac_up. This also makes the driver > uniform across the reset and open paths. > - In the future there may be need for delay based tasks to be done in > sgmii open which will result in NETDEV watchdog > - As per the documentation the order of init should be sgmii, mac, rings > and DMA > > Signed-off-by: Hemanth Puranik <hpura...@codeaurora.org> Applied.
