What will happen were the driver to attempt to use the features on this board? How will this affect existing DTBs?

Its associated config has the MACB_CAPS_SG_DISABLED flag so the feature is not available indeed. patch 2 also set the very same flag for the config associated to the already existing strings "cdns,pc302-gem" and "cdns,gem". Then if you don't update your device tree, the scatter-gather feature won't be enabled for gem anyway. However SG feature will be enabled for the old macb. The main idea is to do the change in two steps to avoid indroducing bugs. This series of patches is the first step. Later an additionnal patch may be introduced to enable SG feature for gem on all platforms but sama5d3x. This should be done by removing the MACB_CAPS_SG_DISABLED flag from pc302gem_config. Till then you don't need to update your device tree. For now, the SG feature is known to be broken on sama5d3x and there is work in progress with Cadence support to fix this issue. It seems to be specific to sama5d3x gem. SG feature was successfully tested on sama5d3x macb and also on sama5d4 gem.

this new compatibility string prevents macb/gem driver from using the scatter-gather and gso features on sama5d3x boards. Signed-off-by: Cyrille Pitchen <cyrille.pitchen@atmel.com> --- arch/arm/boot/dts/sama5d3_gmac.dtsi | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
