I recognize the need to fix this issue and I appreciate your efforts, but... I think this patch tries to make the driver functional again at all costs and this a very bad idea. The IXP4xx Ethernet MACs are not normal platform devices, they are in fact built-in CPU resources. The platform device structs are only used to set parameters. What the patch does is unneeded and IMHO harmful code duplication. It makes completely no sense to set DMA masks in code for individual platforms as it's not something platforms can decide, or *even should know of*. It's simply a CPU attribute, a value that is shared by all IXP4xx CPUs and thus all platforms and systems using it. This is against the "line of code" count rules (or "rules"). Also the dev->dev.parent is IMHO a bad idea. The queue numbers and MAC addresses are in no way "parents" of Ethernet controllers, and even if they somehow were, I find it rather hard to believe they can have DMA masks. I think the previous patch (which sets the masks in one place, in Ethernet driver code) was better, though not perfect. My fault is I haven't fixed it yet. Will try to invent something.

I think the problem is that the platform device and the platform data have not been properly separated. The machine-specific setup functions should be passing the eth_plat_info and MAC ID into a common ixp4xx function which would then create the platform device with the correct DMA mask etc. Ben. > I think the previous patch (which sets the masks in one place, in > Ethernet driver code) was better, though not perfect. > > My fault is I haven't fixed it yet.

Will look at this.

ARM requires the cohorent_dma_mask set, so set it for the platform devices so that the ethernet driver has access to it.
