Revision b76889ff51bfee318bea15891420e5aefd2833a0 authored by Yannick Vignon on 13 January 2021, 13:15:56 UTC, committed by Jakub Kicinski on 14 January 2021, 18:49:42 UTC
When configuring a 802.1Qbv schedule through the tc taprio qdisc on an NXP
i.MX8MPlus device, the effective cycle time differed from the requested one
by N*96ns, with N number of entries in the Qbv Gate Control List. This is
because the driver was adding a 96ns margin to each interval of the GCL,
apparently to account for the IPG. The problem was observed on NXP
i.MX8MPlus devices but likely affected all devices relying on the same
configuration callback (dwmac 4.00, 4.10, 5.10 variants).

Fix the issue by removing the margins, and simply setup the MAC with the
provided cycle time value. This is the behavior expected by the user-space
API, as altering the Qbv schedule timings would break standards conformance.
This is also the behavior of several other Ethernet MAC implementations
supporting taprio, including the dwxgmac variant of stmmac.
