From: Wei Fang <wei.fang@xxxxxxx> The hibernation mode of AR8031 PHY defaults to be enabled after hardware reset. When the cable is unplugged, the PHY will enter hibernation mode after about 10 senconds and the PHY clocks will be stopped to save power. However, due to the design of EQOS, the mac needs the RX_CLK of PHY for software reset to complete. Otherwise the software reset of EQOS will be failed and do not work correctly. The only way is to disable hibernation mode of AR8031 PHY for EQOS, the "qca,disable-hibernation-mode" property is used for this purpose and has already been submitted to the upstream, for more details please refer to the below link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220818030054.1010660-2-wei.fang@xxxxxxx/ This issue is easy to reproduce, just unplug the cable and "ifconfig eth0 down", after about 10 senconds, then "ifconfig eth0 up", you will see failure log on the serial port. The log is shown as following: root@imx8dxlevk:~# [34.941970] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down root@imx8dxlevk:~# ifconfig eth0 down [35.437814] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: FPE workqueue stop [35.507913] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: PHY [stmmac-1:00] driver [Qualcomm Atheros AR8031/AR8033] (irq=POLL) [35.518613] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: configuring for phy/rgmii-id link mode root@imx8dxlevk:~# ifconfig eth0 up [71.143044] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: Register MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL RxQ-0 [71.215855] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: PHY [stmmac-1:00] driver [Qualcomm Atheros AR8031/AR8033] (irq=POLL) [72.230417] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet: Failed to reset the dma [72.236512] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_hw_setup: DMA engine initialization failed [72.245258] imx-dwmac 5b050000.ethernet eth0: __stmmac_open: Hw setup failed SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out After applying this patch, the software reset of EQOS will be successful.
