Hi Marco,

The current phy reset handling is broken in a way that it needs
pre-running firmware to setup the phy initially. Since the very first
step is to readout the PHYID1/2 registers before doing anything else.

The whole dection logic will fall apart if the pre-running firmware
don't setup the phy accordingly or the kernel boot resets GPIOs states
or disables clocks. In such cases the PHYID1/2 read access will fail and
so the whole detection will fail.

PHY reset is a bit too broad and should need some clarifications between:

- external reset to the PHY whereby a hardware pin on the PHY IC may be used

- internal reset to the PHY whereby we call into the PHY driver soft_reset function to have the PHY software reset itself

You are changing the way the former happens, not the latter, at least not changing the latter intentionally if at all.

This is important because your cover letter will be in the merge commit in the networking tree.

Will do a more thorough review on a patch by patch basis. Thanks.


I fixed this via this series, the fix will include a new kernel API
called phy_device_atomic_register() which will do all necessary things
and return a 'struct phy_device' on success. So setting up a phy and the
phy state machine is more convenient.

I tested the series on a i.MX8MP-EVK and a custom board which have a
TJA1102 dual-port ethernet phy. Other testers are welcome :)

Regards,
   Marco
