If these flags indicate what speeds are available, then what would mac_link_up() do if, e.g. the core says "I don't support 1G" and phylink determines that the result of negotiation is 1G? This is clearly not the right place. The right place is when initialising the phylink MAC capabilities, which is currently done in stmmac_phy_setup() without *any* regard what so ever for what speeds are actually supported, with the exception of "oh, is that the maximum speed". > > It does bring up one last question though: if the driver makes no use > > of these hw_cap bits, then is there any point in printing them in the > > debugfs file? > > This question can be applied to almost the half of the dma_feature > structure fields.)

This data could be const, which means that stmmac_dma_cap_show() only needs the hw_cap value and the struct. That also means that stmmac_phy_setup() could also index the array of bit numbers to test for e.g. GMII/MII support to determine whether 10/100 and 1000 capabilities should be added for phylink. If we look at the "half_duplex" dma capability, things are similarly stupid. Pulling out of dwmac4: dma_cap->half_duplex = (hw_cap & GMAC_HW_FEAT_HDSEL) >> 2; This is not tested elsewhere from what I can find - neither the hwcap nor the half_duplex field except for reporting in debugfs. It isn't used to restrict the phylink capabilities for HD, since the only test is this: /* Half-Duplex can only work with single queue */ if (priv->plat->tx_queues_to_use > 1) priv->phylink_config.mac_capabilities &= ~(MAC_10HD | MAC_100HD | MAC_1000HD); So, the reporting of "half duplex" mode in debugfs has absolutely nothing to do with whether we try to use half duplex modes in the driver. This is rubbish. Utter rubbish. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
