The pMAC (ENETC_PFPMR_PMACE) is probably unconditionally enabled in the enetc driver to allow RX of preemptible packets and not see them as error frames. I don't know why TX preemption (ENETC_MMCSR_ME) is enabled though. With no way to say which traffic classes are preemptible (all are express by default), no preemptible frames would be transmitted anyway. Lastly, it may have been believed that the register write lock-step mode (now deleted) needed the pMAC to be enabled at all times. I don't know if that's true. However, I've checked that driver writes to PM1 registers do propagate through to the ENETC IP even when the pMAC is disabled. With such incomplete support for frame preemption, it's best to just remove whatever exists right now and come with something more coherent later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
