Add support for the MDIO multiplexer found in the Amlogic GXL SoC family. This multiplexer allows to choose between the external (SoC pins) MDIO bus, or the internal one leading to the integrated 10/100M PHY. This multiplexer has been handled with the mdio-mux-mmioreg generic driver so far. When it was added, it was thought the logic was handled by a single register. It turns out more than a single register need to be properly set. As long as the device is using the Amlogic vendor bootloader, or upstream u-boot with net support, it is working fine since the kernel is inheriting the bootloader settings. Without net support in the bootloader, this glue comes unset in the kernel and only the external path may operate properly. With this driver (and the associated change in arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-gxl.dtsi), the kernel no longer relies on the bootloader to set things up, fixing the problem. Changes since v1: * Fix missed checkpatch warnings * Change setting function prototype * add comment regarding the PHY id Jerome Brunet (2): dt-bindings: net: add amlogic gxl mdio multiplexer net: mdio: add amlogic gxl mdio mux support .../bindings/net/amlogic,gxl-mdio-mux.yaml | 64 +++++++ drivers/net/mdio/Kconfig | 11 ++ drivers/net/mdio/Makefile | 1 + drivers/net/mdio/mdio-mux-meson-gxl.c | 164 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 240 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/amlogic,gxl-mdio-mux.yaml create mode 100644 drivers/net/mdio/mdio-mux-meson-gxl.c -- 2.39.0
