    ucc_geth: Fix TX watchdog timeout handling · 1762a29a
    Anton Vorontsov authored
    The timeout handling code is currently broken in several ways:
    
    - It calls stop() (which frees all the memory and IRQ), and then
      calls startup() (which won't re-request IRQ, neither it will
      re-init the Fast UCC structure).
    - It calls these routines from the softirq context, which is wrong,
      since stop() calls free_irq() (which might sleep) and startup()
      allocates things with GFP_KERNEL.
    - It won't soft-reset the PHY. We need the PHY reset for at least
      MPC8360E-MDS boards with Marvell 88E1111 PHY, the PHY won't recover
      from timeouts w/o the reset.
    
    So the patch fixes these problems by implementing the workqueue for the
    timeout handling, and there we fully re-open the device via close() and
    open() calls. The close/open paths do the right things, and I can see
    that the driver actually survive the timeouts.
