This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: mdio: mdio-bitbang: Fix C45 read/write protocol to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-mdio-mdio-bitbang-fix-c45-read-write-protocol.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b08528505c9e0c8b60ca9989445d7e065b2a628f Author: Serge Semin <fancer.lancer@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 16 21:06:52 2023 +0300 net: mdio: mdio-bitbang: Fix C45 read/write protocol [ Upstream commit 2572ce62415cf3b632391091447252e2661ed520 ] Based on the original code semantic in case of Clause 45 MDIO, the address command is supposed to be followed by the command sending the MMD address, not the CSR address. The commit 002dd3de097c ("net: mdio: mdio-bitbang: Separate C22 and C45 transactions") has erroneously broken that. So most likely due to an unfortunate variable name it switched the code to sending the CSR address. In our case it caused the protocol malfunction so the read operation always failed with the turnaround bit always been driven to one by PHY instead of zero. Fix that by getting back the correct behaviour: sending MMD address command right after the regular address command.
