Revision 9ecfe875c4f311618cc918aded716017dcd2ddf1 authored by Karicheri, Muralidharan on 19 February 2016, 17:58:42 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 22 February 2016, 03:03:15 UTC
The commit 899077791403 ("netcp: try to reduce type confusion in
descriptors") introduces a regression in Kernel 4.5-rc1 and it breaks
get/set_pad_info() functionality.

The TI NETCP driver uses pad0 and pad1 fields of knav_dma_desc to
store DMA/MEM buffer pointer and buffer size respectively. And in both
cases for Keystone 2 the pointer type size is 32 bit regardless of
LAPE enabled or not, because CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT originally
is not expected to be defined.

Unfortunately, above commit changed buffer's pointers save/restore
code (get/set_pad_info()) and added intermediate conversation to u64
which works incorrectly on 32bit Keystone 2 and causes TI NETCP driver
crash in RX/TX path due to "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer"
exception. This issue was reported and discussed in [1].

Hence, fix it by partially reverting above commit and restoring
get/set_pad_info() functionality as it was before.
