The PHY configuration for the variant 2 is still missing the flag for in-band signalling between PHY and MAC. Both sides - MAC and PHY - have to match the setting. For now, Linux only supports setting the MAC side and thus it has to match the setting the bootloader is configuring. Enable in-band signalling to make ethernet work. Fixes: ab43f0307449 ("arm64: dts: ls1028a: sl28: add support for variant 2") Signed-off-by: Michael Walle <michael@xxxxxxxx> --- What make things worse and why this might slipped through is that the setting in the PHY is persistent even after a soft reset of the PHY. arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1028a-kontron-sl28-var2.dts | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1028a-kontron-sl28-var2.dts b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1028a-kontron-sl28-var2.dts index dd764b720fb0..f6a79c8080d1 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1028a-kontron-sl28-var2.dts +++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1028a-kontron-sl28-var2.dts @@ -54,6 +54,7 @@ &mscc_felix_port0 { label = "swp0"; + managed = "in-band-status"; phy-handle = <&phy0>; phy-mode = "sgmii"; status = "okay"; @@ -61,6 +62,7 @@ &mscc_felix_port1 { label = "swp1"; + managed = "in-band-status"; phy-handle = <&phy1>; phy-mode = "sgmii"; status = "okay"; -- 2.20.1
