From f67b3f43b7873f395265bef3e270ca0bea071d42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonas Gorski Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 09:55:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ar71xx: rb493g: fix gpio-mdio accesses under load It seems that there are maximum timings for mdio accesses that can be hit when the system is under load and the thread is scheduled during a read or write access. Since there is no way of knowing if this happens as there is not even a parity bit, try to work around it by disabling interrupts during any gpio-mdio accesses. Performance impact seems to be neglectable, as mdio accesses are not that often. Hopefully fixes #19500.
