gem_eth_poll()insrc/port/amd/ip/gem_rx_poll.cissuesdsbwith no option. That is valid ARMv7-A, where the option defaults to SY, but not AArch64, where it is mandatory - so the file fails to assemble withError: missing immediate expression at operand 1 -- 'dsb'as soon as an AArch64 board selects the polling RX model. Both barriers becomedsb sy, which both architectures accept.This is a no-op for the existing ARMv7 user:
boards/zynq7000builds this file for a Cortex-A9, and the resultinggem_rx_poll.ois byte-identical before and after the change (f57ff04f,dsb sy, at all five sites).Validated by building
boards/zynq7000for armv7-a and compiling the same file for AArch64, and on hardware: the zynq7000 demo on a ZC702 links at auto-negotiation, binds a DHCP lease, answers ping, and completes a UDP echo round trip through this RX path.
