    net: enetc: stop configuring pMAC in lockstep with eMAC · 219355f1
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    The MWLM bit (MAC write lock-step mode) allows register writes to the
    pMAC to be auto-performed whenever the corresponding eMAC register is
    written by the driver. This allows their configuration to remain
    in sync.
    
    The driver has set this bit since the initial commit, but it doesn't do
    anything, since the hardware feature doesn't work (and the bit has been
    removed from more recent versions of the documentation).
    
    The driver does attempt, more or less, to keep those MAC registers in
    sync by writing the same value once to e.g. ENETC_PM0_CMD_CFG (eMAC) and
    once to ENETC_PM1_CMD_CFG (pMAC). Because the lockstep feature doesn't
    work, that's what it will stick to.
