I found that Ethernet controller on the board no longer comes up on
linux-3.12. I was able to bisect the issue I'm having to the following

Can anyone offer any suggestions on what I should be looking for to
fix this on my board?

Any pointers to the driver in question?

drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_emac.c


Hi Jon,
I have successfully used the davinci_emac driver on a custom board with an AM1808 SoC with Kernel 3.13 a few weeks ago. So at least 3.13 should work. Did you try more recent kernel versions than 3.12?

I also get the following output:

         Starting Network Manager Wait Online...
[   30.946509] davinci_mdio davinci_mdio.0: resetting idled controller
[   30.953220] net net0: attached PHY driver [Generic PHY]
(mii_bus:phy_addr=davinci_mdio-0:00, id=7c0f1)
[   30.962938] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): net0: link is not ready
[   31.082087] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 33. 00000000 (net0) vs.

Is it correct that this warning can only appear in case of shared interrupts? See kernel/irq/manage.c. Since we don't use shared interrupts here: Are you sure your board configuration is correct with regard to emac interrupts? Is your configuration using device tree or not (my configuration is a none-devicetree one)? I also wonder why your network device is net0, on my board it's eth0, maybe this triggers some bug?
