From b1dee4793fb8fec8e6b2efb68953b465a65c6b3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:20:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] stmmac: prevent false carrier sense detection This patch is to w/a a problem that happens on some boxes when run at 10Mbps Half duplex mode. During the transmission the CSR signal is asserted for some time and the frames aborted because of carrier sense error. This is reported by MMC HW counter: txcarrier signal. This actually is a false carrier so the frames are good and there is no reason to ask for dropping them. This patch so disables the Carrier Sense During Transmission and this means that the MAC transmitter ignore the CRS signal during frame transmission in Half-Duplex mode.
