[PATCH] commands: loady: fix bug with netconsole

[Robert Jarzmik]

Netconsole doesn't have a baudrate. Loady supposes a console has one,
and tries to compute the console's baudrate variable value, regardless
of its existence.

This triggers a NULL pointer dereference on netconsole. If attempting
loady on a netconsole is a bit useless, barebox should not panic. Fix
this by checking the variable exists before reading its value.

[PATCH] net: smc1111: fix memory congestions

[Robert Jarzmik]

As the SMC1111 has a shared pool of 2k memory buckets for both
transmission and reception, and as there are variants which have as few
as 4 buckets in total, the memory pool can be hogged by unclaimed
receptions, and impeed any further transmission.

This happens on the zylonite pxa board, where 4 packets, most probably
icmp and arp, fill the 4 buckets, preventing any further ethernet
transmission, and stalling the driver.

The fix is rather rough : whenever all the buckets are filled by
reception packets, and if a transmission is required, the transmission
code path will empty up all received packets.

[PATCH] net: smc1111: move print_packet function

[Robert Jarzmik]

Fix for a compiler complaint, because print_packet is needed by a
function before it is declared.

I don't know the hardware (not anymore, fortunately ;), but isn't it
possible to dedicate one bucket for transmitting only, so that it will
never be occupied by a received packet?

None I'm aware of.
I've been through the specification many times, and my understanding is
that :
 - the MMU allocation is symmetric (either from CPU for TX or from NIC
   for RX)
 - there is no configurable threshold or limit
 - first customer is first served from the MMU point of view

Cheers.
