Some users report that FEC can't work on i.MX8MP EVK board, it brings
inconvenience. The root cause should be FEC controller attached to
generic phy driver, as Realtek phy driver is built as module in the
defconfig file (CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY=m), so it is unavailable. If provide
"reset-gpios" property, it will reset phy when probed, and no way to
re-config phy since we use the generic phy dirver, which leads FEC can't
work.
There are two ways to let FEC work:
1. If you want to use generic phy dirver, please delete "reset-gpios"
property, keep power-on strapping pins configurations.
2. If you want to use Realtek phy driver, please buildin driver
(CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY=y), and had better add another two reset
properties:
reset-assert-us = <20000>;
reset-deassert-us = <150000>;
According to RTL8211 serials PHY datasheet, for a complete PHY reset,
reset pin must be asserted low for at least 10ms for internal regulator.
Wait for at least 72ms (for internal circuits settling time) before
accessing the PHY register.
This patch selects method 1, since users may waste time to find out FEC
failure, in most cases, they just want to use networking to debug other
modules.
