From ee33c58541bae92669fe64a39f695ab533d0de14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Waling Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 23:32:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] macb: Handle Retry Limit Exceeded errors When transfering large amounts of data we sometimes experienced that the Retry Limit Exceeded (RLE) bit got set in TSR during transmission attempts. When this happened the driver would stall in a state that prevented any more data from being sent. Signed-off-by: Erik Waling Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen Signed-off-by: David S.
