[PATCH net 1/1] net: stmmac: add fsleep() in HW Rx timestamp checking loop
From: Tan Tee Min
Date: Tue Apr 12 2022 - 23:55:31 EST
There is a possibility that the context descriptor still owned by the DMA
even the previous normal descriptor own bit is already cleared. Checking
the context descriptor readiness without delay might be not enough time
for the DMA to update the descriptor field, which causing failure in
getting HW Rx timestamp.
This patch introduces a 1us fsleep() in HW Rx timestamp checking loop
to give time for DMA to update/complete the context descriptor.
