8139cp: set ring address after enabling C+ mode
This fixes (for me) a regression introduced by commit b01af457 ("8139cp: set ring address before enabling receiver"). That commit configured the descriptor ring addresses earlier in the initialisation sequence, in order to avoid the possibility of triggering stray DMA before the correct address had been set up. Unfortunately, it seems that the hardware will scribble garbage into the TxRingAddr registers when we enable "plus mode" Tx in the CpCmd register. Observed on a Traverse Geos router board. To deal with this, while not reintroducing the problem which led to the original commit, we augment cp_start_hw() to write to the CpCmd register *first*, then set the descriptor ring addresses, and then finally to enable Rx and Tx in the original 8139 Cmd register. The datasheet actually indicates that we should enable Tx/Rx in the Cmd register *before* configuring the descriptor addresses, but that would appear to re-introduce the problem that the offending commit b01af457 was trying to solve. And this variant appears to work fine on real hardware. Signed-off-by: NDavid Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org [3.5+] Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
