Hello everyone, There is an issue with some stmmac/PHY combinations that has been reported some time ago in a couple of different series: Clark Wang's report: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230202081559.3553637-1-xiaoning.wang@xxxxxxx/ Clément Léger's report: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230116103926.276869-4-clement.leger@xxxxxxxxxxx/ Stmmac controllers require an RX clock signal from the MII bus to perform their hardware initialization successfully. This causes issues with some PHY/PCS devices. If these devices do not bring the clock signal up before the MAC driver initializes its hardware, then said initialization will fail. This can happen at probe time or when the system wakes up from a suspended state. This series introduces new flags for phy_device and phylink_pcs. These flags allow MAC drivers to signal to PHY/PCS drivers that the RX clock signal should be enabled as soon as possible, and that it should always stay enabled. I have included specific uses of these flags that fix the RZN1 GMAC1 stmmac driver that I am currently working on and that is not yet upstream. I have also included changes to the at803x PHY driver that should fix the issue that Clark Wang was having. Clark, could you please confirm that this series fixes your issue with the at803x PHY?
