[PATCH v10 0/8] net: stmmac: dwmac-sun8i: Handle integrated PHY

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hello

The current way to find if the PHY is internal is to compare DT phy-mode
and emac_variant/internal_phy.
But it will negate a possible future SoC where an external PHY use the
same phy mode than the integrated one.

This patchs series adds a new way to handle this problem via a mdio-mux.

The first try was to create a new MDIO mux "mdio-mux-syscon".
mdio-mux-syscon working the same way than mdio-mux-mmioreg with the exception
that the register is used via syscon/regmap.
But this solution does not work for two reason:
- changing the MDIO selection need the reset of MAC which cannot be done by the
        mdio-mux-syscon driver
- There were driver loading order problem:
        - mdio-mux-syscon needing that stmmac register the parent MDIO
        - stmmac needing that child MDIO was registered just after registering parent MDIO

So we cannot use any external MDIO-mux.

The final solution was to represent the mdio-mux in MAC node and let the MAC handle all things.

Since DT bits was reverted in 4.13, this patch series include the revert of the revert.

I have let patch splited for easy review. (for seeing what's new)
But the final serie could have some patch squashed if someone want.
Like squashing patch and 1 and 2 (documentation)

All patchs should go via the sunxi tree

Regards

Changes since v9:
- added a line before mdio-parent-bus
- removed mdio-mux compatible from doc
- fix arm prefix uppercase
- splitted changes between A64 and H5
- removed already merge patchs for net

Changes since v8:
- added reference to mdio-mux.txt in documentation
- removed compatible mdio-mux
- added mdio-parent-bus

Changes since v7:
- moved mdio-mux ouf of mdio as asked by Andrew Lunn
- reordered patchs order

Changes since v6:
- renamed external mdio to "external_mdio"
- added compatible to mdio-mux and internal-mdio
- removed usage of phy-is-integrated
- renamed do_not_scan to compatible_muxes (patch 10)
- patch 8 9 of v6 are squashed

Changes since v5:
- reordered patch 1 and 2
- mdio-mux node is now a mdio's child
- added patch 11 for removing unnecessary scan of mdio-mux

Changes since v4:
- Update documentation for new bindings
- Added 4 patchs for bring back reverted stuff of 4.13
- dwmac-sun8i now handle mdio-mux
- MDIO use now compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";

Changes since v3:
- Added a patch for handling fixed-link
- Updated documentation

Changes since v2:
- Add a MDIO mux for creating distinction between integrated and external MDIO.
- phy-is-integrated is not set in dtsi.

Changes since v1:
- Dropped phy-is-integrated documentation patch since another same patch was already merged
- Moved phy-is-integrated from SoC dtsi to final board DT.
