Are you sure you have the correct firmware? Many of the registers which the standards say should be Read Only can be influenced by the firmware. So the wrong firmware, or provisioning taken from another device could result in the wrong capabilities being set. You might want to report this issue to Marvell, but my guess would be, they don't care. I would guess the vendor driver ignores these registers and simply uses the product ID to determine what the device actually supports. > I am thinking of solving this problem by having > custom .get_features in the AQR115c driver to only set supported speeds > upto 2.5gbps Yes, that is the correct solution. It would also be good if you could, in a separate patch, change the aqcs109_config_init() to not call phy_set_max_speed() and add a custom .get_features. Andrew
