The MWLM bit (MAC write lock-step mode) allows register writes to the pMAC to be auto-performed whenever the corresponding eMAC register is written by the driver. This allows their configuration to remain in sync. The driver has set this bit since the initial commit, but it doesn't do anything, since the hardware feature doesn't work (and the bit has been removed from more recent versions of the documentation). The driver does attempt, more or less, to keep those MAC registers in sync by writing the same value once to e.g. ENETC_PM0_CMD_CFG (eMAC) and once to ENETC_PM1_CMD_CFG (pMAC). Because the lockstep feature doesn't work, that's what it will stick to. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
