lan743x: correctly handle chips with internal PHY
[ Upstream commit 902a66e08ceaadb9a7a1ab3a4f3af611cd1d8cba ]
Commit 6f197fb63850 ("lan743x: Added fixed link and RGMII support")
assumes that chips with an internal PHY will never have a devicetree
entry. This is incorrect: even for these chips, a devicetree entry
can be useful e.g. to pass the mac address from bootloader to chip:
&pcie {
status = "okay";
host@0 {
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
#address-cells = <3>;
#size-cells = <2>;
lan7430: ethernet@0 {
/* LAN7430 with internal PHY */
compatible = "microchip,lan743x";
status = "okay";
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
/* filled in by bootloader */
local-mac-address = [00 00 00 00 00 00];
};
};
};
If a devicetree entry is present, the driver will not attach the chip
to its internal phy, and the chip will be non-operational.
Fix by tweaking the phy connection algorithm:
- first try to connect to a phy specified in the devicetree
(could be 'real' phy, or just a 'fixed-link')
- if that doesn't succeed, try to connect to an internal phy, even
if the chip has a devnode
Tested on a LAN7430 with internal PHY. I cannot test a device using
fixed-link, as I do not have access to one.
