This is an enhancement work that began several years ago. I try to catchup with some performance improvement that has been implemented then by Havard. The ring index logic and the TX error path modification are the biggest changes but some cleanup/debugging have been added along the way. The GEM revision will benefit from the Gigabit support. Newer pinctrl infrastructure support is added but it is optional.
The series has been tested on several Atmel AT91 SoC with the two MACB/GEM flavors.
v3: - rebased on net-next to take into account current effor to merge at91_ether with macb drivers - add additional patch to use the new pinctrl infrastructure v2: - modify the tx error handling: now uses a workqueue - information provided by ethtool -i were not accurate: removed
Havard Skinnemoen (4): net/macb: memory barriers cleanup net/macb: change debugging messages net/macb: clean up ring buffer logic net/macb: Offset first RX buffer by two bytes
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD (1): net/macb: add pinctrl consumer support
Nicolas Ferre (4): net/macb: remove macb_get_drvinfo() net/macb: tx status is more than 8 bits now net/macb: ethtool interface: add register dump feature net/macb: better manage tx errors
Patrice Vilchez (1): net/macb: Add support for Gigabit Ethernet mode
