[PATCH v3 0/7] net/ravb: Add support for explicit internal clock delay configuration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	Hi all,

Some Renesas EtherAVB variants support internal clock delay
configuration, which can add larger delays than the delays that are
typically supported by the PHY (using an "rgmii-*id" PHY mode, and/or
"[rt]xc-skew-ps" properties).

Historically, the EtherAVB driver configured these delays based on the
"rgmii-*id" PHY mode.  This caused issues with PHY drivers that
implement PHY internal delays properly[1].  Hence a backwards-compatible
workaround was added by masking the PHY mode[2].

This patch series implements the next step of the plan outlined in [3],
and adds proper support for explicit configuration of the MAC internal
clock delays using new "[rt]x-internal-delay-ps" properties.  If none of
these properties is present, the driver falls back to the old handling.

This can be considered the MAC counterpart of commit 9150069bf5fc0e86
("dt-bindings: net: Add tx and rx internal delays"), which applies to
the PHY.  Note that unlike commit 92252eec913b2dd5 ("net: phy: Add a
helper to return the index for of the internal delay"), no helpers are
provided to parse the DT properties, as so far there is a single user
only, which supports only zero or a single fixed value.  Of course such
helpers can be added later, when the need arises, or when deemed useful
otherwise.

This series consists of 4 parts:
  1. DT binding updates documenting the new properties, for both the
     generic ethernet-controller and the EtherAVB-specific bindings,
     => intended to be merged through net-next.

  2. Conversion to json-schema of the Renesas EtherAVB DT bindings.
     Technically, the conversion is independent of all of the above.
     I included it in this series, as it shows how all sanity checks on
     "[rt]x-internal-delay-ps" values are implemented as DT binding
     checks.
     => intended to be merged through net-next, or devicetree (ignoring
        any conflict due to 1.).

  3. EtherAVB driver update implementing support for the new properties.
     => intended to be merged through net-next.

  4. DT updates, one for R-Car Gen3 and RZ/G2 SoC families each.
     => intended to be merged through renesas-devel and arm-soc, but
	only _after_ 3. has hit upstream.

Changes compared to v2[4]:
  - Update recently added board DTS files,
  - Add Reviewed-by.

Changes compared to v1[5]:
  - Added "[PATCH 1/7] dt-bindings: net: ethernet-controller: Add
    internal delay properties",
  - Replace "renesas,[rt]xc-delay-ps" by "[rt]x-internal-delay-ps",
  - Incorporated EtherAVB DT binding conversion to json-schema,
  - Add Reviewed-by.

Impacted, tested:
  - Salvator-X(S) with R-Car H3 ES1.0 and ES2.0, M3-W, and M3-N.

Not impacted, tested:
  - Ebisu with R-Car E3.

Impacted, not tested:
  - Salvator-X(S) with other SoC variants,
  - ULCB with R-Car H3/M3-W/M3-N variants,
  - V3MSK and Eagle with R-Car V3M,
  - Draak with R-Car V3H,
  - HiHope RZ/G2[MN] with RZ/G2M or RZ/G2N,
  - Beacon EmbeddedWorks RZ/G2M Development Kit.

To ease testing, I have pushed this series to the
topic/ravb-internal-clock-delays-v3 branch of my renesas-drivers
repository at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git.

Thanks for your comments!
