"snps,force_sf_dma_mode" is documented in stmmac device tree bindings,
but is never handled by the driver.

Will this do the right thing for when the property is not present?
Right now the force_sf_dma_mode value is always false.

In fact won't it override the explicit settings done elsewhere in the
driver?

of_property_read_bool will return false when the property is not present.

Point taken. The current implementation will override settings passed from
platform data. ORing the two would be better.


Thanks

Platform_data and DT-based configuration are pretty unlikely to be
used together, so ORing it doesn't have much sense.

In fact, the recommended way is to always use platform data alone if it is
present or try to parse DT otherwise, so no mixing of data from these two
sources should be done.

Best regards,

Would binding platform data with compatibles, as I did so in this patch
series, be a bad idea then?

What I meant was that you'll either be probed will pdev->dev.of_node
or pdev->dev.platform_data filled, but not both at the same time, so
ORing it isn't really sensible.

But I don't see why you couldn't reuse the stmmac_platform_data
structure in your patch.
