publicly available datasheet for Yukon II and don't know what
bug/workaround exist for the specific hardware revision. Also I don't
think the vendor will release hardware errata in near future.
The hardware feature lists were not used at all except setting water
mark registers. Since msk(4) should know exact chip model/revision
number to decide which hardware capability could be used the extra
feature lists were redundant.
o Enable jumbo frame support for EC Ultra and disable jumbo frame
for FE.
o Enable store and forward mode for standard MTU sized frame.
o Enable TSO for EC Ultra. However TSO/checksum offload is disabled
for jumbo frame case. Because EC Ultra can't use store and forward
mode for jumbo frame TSO/checksum offload is not available.
o Adjust Tx GMAC almost empty threshold value and add a jumbo frame
water mark. The maic value was obtained from Marvell's sk98lin
driver.
o Fix EC Ultra chip revision number.
interrupt that is shared with other devices(e.g. USB) in system and
provide a new tunable "hw.msk.legacy_intr" to activate the legacy
interrupt handler. Setting the tunable automatically disables MSI
for msk(4). Previously msk(4) used adoptive polling with taskqueue(9)
as all msk(4) hardwares I know supports MSI. However, there are cases
that MSI couldn't be used on some hardwares due to bugs in MSI
implementatins.

MCLBYTES for the segment size but it used too many Tx descriptors in
TSO case.
While I'm here adjust maximum size of the sum of all segment lengths
in a given DMA mapping to 65535, the maximum size, in bytes, of a IP
packet.
Under certain circumtances, if TSO is active, Yukon II generates
corrupted IP packets. All corrupted IP packets I noticed were the the
last segmented packet in a TSO request. The corrupted packet resulted
in retransmission of the damaged packet which in turn decreased network
performance dramatically.
Unfortunately it seems that there is no way to workaround this bug
as TSO is completely handled in hardware. Disable TSO until we find a
working workaround or a new silicon revision that doesn't have this
hardware bug.
Yukon II generated corrupted TCP checksum for short TCP packets
that's less than 60 bytes in size(e.g. window probe packet, pure ACK
packet etc). Padding the frame with zeros to make the frame minimum
ethernet frame size didn't work at all. Instead of dropping Tx
checksum offload support we calculate TCP checksum with S/W method
when we encounter short TCP frames.
Fortunately it seems that short UDP datagrams appear to be handled
correctly by Yukon II.
While I'm here simplify ethernet/VLAN header size calculation logic.

anymore. Previously it tried to access interrupt register to disable
interrupts which could result in hang if the hardware was not
properly initialized by system BIOS/ACPI.

If these drivers are setting M_VLANTAG because they are stripping the
layer 2 802.1Q headers, then they need to be re-inserting them so any
bpf(4) peers can properly decode them.
It should be noted that this is compiled tested only.

Unlike other GigEs Yukon II always set VLAN bit when it detects VLAN
tagged packet regardless of H/W VLAN processing configuration state.
So it need to check IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING bit to know whether driver
is configured to take advantage of H/W VLAN processing. If H/W VLAN
processing was disabled don't adjust received packet length such that
subsequent validation logic works for software VLAN processing.

link state changes. Instead, build new speed/duplex/flow-control
settings from the values reported from PHY.
This should fix speed/duplex/flow-control mismatches between GMAC and
PHY which resulted in very poor Rx performance due to lots of
out-of-order packet delivery.

controller. Due to lack of documentation, this driver is based on the
code from sk(4) and Marvell's myk(4) driver for FreeBSD. I've also
adopted the OpenBSD interface name, msk(4) in order to reduce naming
differences between BSDs.
The msk(4) driver supports the following Gigabit Ethernet adapters.
o SysKonnect SK-9Sxx Gigabit Ethernet
o SysKonnect SK-9Exx Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8021CU Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8021 SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8022CU Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8022 SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8061CU Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8061 SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8062CU Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8062 SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8035 Gigabit Ethernet

Unlike OpenBSD/NetBSD msk(4), the msk(4) driver supports all hardware
features including TCP/UDP checksum offload for transmit, MSI, TCP
segmentation offload(TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion,
and jumbo frames(up to 9022 bytes). The only unsupported hardware
feature except RLMT is Rx checksum offload which I don't know how to
make it work reliably.
Known Issues:
It seems msk(4) does not work on the second port of dual port NIC.
(The first port works without problems.)
Thanks to Marvell for releasing the BSD licensed myk(4) driver and
thanks to all users helped fixing bugs.
