When the mvneta driver is compiled, it'll be loaded with clocks disabled. This implies that the clocks should be enabled again before any register access or it'll hang. To fix it: - enable clock earlier - move timer callback after setting timer.data Signed-off-by: Arnaud Patard Index: linux-next/drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c =================================================================== --- linux-next.orig/drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c 2013-06-20 23:39:37.485391949 +0200 +++ linux-next/drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c 2013-06-20 23:39:37.481391949 +0200 @@ -2728,20 +2733,10 @@ static int mvneta_probe(struct platform_ pp = netdev_priv(dev); - pp->tx_done_timer.function = mvneta_tx_done_timer_callback; - init_timer(&pp->tx_done_timer); - clear_bit(MVNETA_F_TX_DONE_TIMER_BIT, &pp->flags); - pp->weight = MVNETA_RX_POLL_WEIGHT; pp->phy_node = phy_node; pp->phy_interface = phy_mode; - pp->base = of_iomap(dn, 0); - if (pp->base == NULL) { - err = -ENOMEM; - goto err_free_irq; - } - pp->clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL); if (IS_ERR(pp->clk)) { err = PTR_ERR(pp->clk); @@ -2765,7 +2760,16 @@ static int mvneta_probe(struct platform_ } } + pp->base = of_iomap(dn, 0); + if (pp->base == NULL) { + err = -ENOMEM; + goto err_free_irq; + } + pp->tx_done_timer.data = (unsigned long)dev; + pp->tx_done_timer.function = mvneta_tx_done_timer_callback; + init_timer(&pp->tx_done_timer); + clear_bit(MVNETA_F_TX_DONE_TIMER_BIT, &pp->flags); pp->tx_ring_size = MVNETA_MAX_TXD; pp->rx_ring_size = MVNETA_MAX_RXD;
