Subject: [PATCH net-next] sfc: Use the correct maximum TX DMA ring size for SFC9100

From: Shradha Shah <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 14:35:48 +0000

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>

As part of a workaround for a hardware erratum in the SFC9100 family
(SF bug 35388), the TX_DESC_UPD_DWORD register address is also used
for communicating with the event block, and only descriptor pointer
values < 2048 are valid.

If the TX DMA ring size is increased to 4096 descriptors (which the
firmware still allows) then we may write a descriptor pointer 
value >= 2048, which has entirely different and undesirable effects!

Limit the TX DMA ring size correctly when this workaround is in
effect.

Fixes: 8127d661e77f ('sfc: Add support for Solarflare SFC9100 family')

This patch limits the TX DMA ring size to <= 2048.
This bug fix is needed for all versions supporting EF10
i.e all versions including and after 3.12.
