it worth a try to monitor signals on PM pins of
ETH chip using oscilloscope

reading this paper I noticed that power management is shared between  USB and ETH. I think that when you move your mouse ETH is waken up because USB is waken up. the datasheet says

"Many customers use a single poly fuse to power all their devices. For the ganged situation, all power
control pins must be tied together"

I think you need to check the schematics for your board and analyze how PM is implemented. I had problems with TI's implementation of ETH support on other boards. It always was a low priority for some reason. Maybe because Linux kernel is being updated too often and ETH is not that required.

as a conclusion I would look into PM implementation differences in working and non-working kernels including PLL and power domain configurations

You may be right, I only see interrupts in usbmon traces when I moved my USB mouse.
The fact that mouse activity resumes TX activity would then not be related to interrupts, but something else.
Argh... I hate making assumptions, because I know it is the worst way to debug a problem.


I booted linaro kernel built with panda_defconfig, and my current android images. Android zygote did not start, but I could test eth0 from command line anyway.
Not surprisingly, TX worked fine, achieving ~10MBps (compared to 20KBps when TX gets stuck).

The panda_defconfig from linaro and mine has only CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG difference. Then my bug must come from the sources:
$ git diff kernel_linaro/drivers/usb kernel/drivers/usb > linaro-11.09_android-omap-panda-3.0_kernel-drivers-usb.diff
http://pastebin.com/Cdas1SMc

There is a huge part concerning PM_RUNTIME in drivers/usb/host/ehci-omap.c that looks suspect...
I will try without related patches.

$ git diff kernel_linaro/drivers/net/usb kernel/drivers/net/usb
only contains diffs on cdc_ncm.c, asix.c. Not interesting...

$ git diff kernel_linaro/drivers/net kernel/drivers/net
has huge differences... But I prefer to ignore them for now.

git diff kernel_linaro/arch/arm/mach-omap2 kernel/arch/arm/mach-omap2
has huge differences as well... The omap44xx_usbhs_ehci_hwmod is not present in linaro kernel for instance.
