Not all variants of the sh_eth hardware have Gigabit support. Unfortunately, the current driver doesn't tell the PHY about the limited MAC capabilities. Due to this, if you have a Gigabit capable PHY, the PHY will advertise its Gigabit capability and establish a link at 1Gbit/s, even though the MAC doesn't support it. In order to avoid this, we use the recently introduced phy_set_max_speed() to tell the PHY to not advertise speed higher than 100 MBit/s. Tested on a SH7786 platform, with a Gigabit PHY. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v2: - Drop goto construction used in the phy_set_max_speed() error handling, as it is not needed. Suggested by Sergei Shtylyov. Changes since v1: - Use phy_set_max_speed(), as suggested by Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. --- drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c index db72d13cebb9..75323000c364 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c @@ -1892,6 +1892,16 @@ static int sh_eth_phy_init(struct net_device *ndev) return PTR_ERR(phydev); } + /* mask with MAC supported features */ + if (mdp->cd->register_type != SH_ETH_REG_GIGABIT) { + int err = phy_set_max_speed(phydev, SPEED_100); + if (err) { + netdev_err(ndev, "failed to limit PHY to 100 Mbit/s\n"); + phy_disconnect(phydev); + return err; + } + } + phy_attached_info(phydev); return 0; -- 2.14.3
