I actually have this setup. On the board, one GMAC is connected to a DSA switch using a fixed-link and the other using the PCS such as added by this series. >From what I see, indeed, the mac_link_up() function is called before stmmac_hw_setup(). This does not seems to have any effect on my setup (except making it working of course) but I agree this is clearly not ideal. What I could do is adding a function in the miic pcs driver that could be called from my rzn1 stmmac probe function to actually configure the PCS at probe time based on the detected "phy-mode". Does that seems better to you ? Thanks, -- Clément Léger, Embedded Linux and Kernel engineer at Bootlin https://bootlin.com
