Hello Sebastian,

using your DT patches[1] (on top of 3.10) I can't get the second
ethernet to work on my kirkwood board.

Hi Jonas,

next time please name your board, because there are plenty of it.
Kirkwood is just the SoC used on them.

in my dts file I use:

&mdio { status = "okay"; };

&eth0 { status = "okay"; ethernet0-port@0 { speed =<1000>; duplex
=<1>; }; };


I guess you are using Iomega IX2 200?

&eth1 { status = "okay"; ethernet1-port@1 { speed =<1000>; duplex
=<1>; }; };

(Both macs are connected to a switch, so use a fixed link, and no
phy).

Eth1 gets probed fine, but never gets a link when brought up, and
trying to bring it down again hangs the board hard.

Using Florian's older patches, it is brought up fine and works (after
adapting the node names of course).

Also I noticed that you named eth1's ethernet1-port node wrongly in
(at least) your kirkwood conversion patch[2]; you used

&eth1 { status = "okay"; ethernet1-port@0 { must be @1--^ phy-handle
=<&ethphy1>; }; };

Can you please try to leave ethernet1-port@0 and match
the one in kirkwood.dtsi?

Both "ports" need reg = <0> as there is two controllers
with one port at 0 on Kirkwood.

If that works, please address a mail to ARM mailing list
where you describe the issue and propose the patch.
