Ops :) Fixed in next revision of the patch.

Thank you. I am attaching 2 of thse to this repsonse - the other two
are no longer relevant due to the changes I made into the driver.
One of the attached patches is slightly modfied by simply having one hunk
removed (that hunk was applying to the code that was removed in next rev
of the driver). Not sure how to proceed with those patches, shall I simply
sent out these patches to this list as a separate messages?

I have switched the code to use array of descriptors. Yep, lists do
not make too much sense here.

I have changed the code to use much modest value - it is set to be of the
size of the fifo now. I think that this value is much better, but of course
having this configurable would be even better.

No, there is really no interrupt, hence the timer. Also on this device I wouldn't
expect any bursts of data. What happens here, during regular operation of the
device, is a periodic exchange of (few) ethernet packets between host cpu and
terminals attached to the EtherCAT bus. As for the locking on the tx path,
I have removed that completely on receiving path. I simply didn't know
that it is such a big no-no here :)

Yes. It took a lot of nagging but I got some documentation from them, together
with a sample code showing how to use dma interface and generally interact with
the device.


Thank you!
