Avoid patching kernel to make KSZ8895 SPI driver compile #75

Open emilm opened 3 years ago

emilm commented 3 years ago

I see that the kernel maintainers have removed 

int skb_append_datato_frags(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb,
                int getfrag(void *from, char *to, int offset,
                    int len, int odd, struct sk_buff *skb),
                void *from, int length);

Is it possible to change the code to work without this function? Thanks. I am on kernel 5.4

There are updated drivers for 5.4 and 5.10 in linux-drivers.

Thanks @triha2work was it added 12 days ago?

triha2work commented 3 years ago

The switch drivers were updated, and then the MAC driver patches were updated to use the mainline kernels instead of the ones from linux4sam.

emilm commented 3 years ago

It does not compile for 5.4:

ksz_sw_8895.c:3686:11: error: 'struct ksz_port_info' has no member named 'lpa'
