net: phy: introduce fixed_phy_create for DSA CPU ports

2021-02-16T16:48:20+00:00

The DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture) implementation has made a
design decision when it got introduced to the Linux kernel in 2008.
That was to hide away from the user the CPU-facing Ethernet MAC, since
it does not make sense to register it as a struct net_device (UCLASS_ETH
udevice for U-Boot), because that would never be beneficial for a user:
they would not be able to use it for traffic, since conceptually, a
packet delivered to the CPU port should loop back into the system.

Nonetheless, DSA has had numerous growing pains due to the lack of a
struct net_device for the CPU port, but so far it has overcome them.
It is unlikely at this stage of maturity that this aspect of it will
change.

We would like U-Boot to present the same information as Linux, to be at
parity in terms of number of interfaces, so that ethNaddr environment
variables could directly be associated between U-Boot and Linux.
Therefore, we would implicitly like U-Boot to hide the CPU port from the
user as well.

But the paradox is that DSA still needs a struct phy_device to inform
the driver of the parameters of the link that it should configure the
CPU port to. The problem is that the phy_device is typically returned
via a call to phy_connect, which needs an udevice to attach the PHY to,
and to search its ofnode for the 'fixed-link' property. But we don't
have an udevice to present for the CPU port.

Since 99% of DSA setups are MAC-to-MAC connections between the switch
and the host Ethernet controller, the struct phy_device is going to be a
fixed PHY. This simplifies things quite a bit. In U-Boot, a fixed PHY
does not need an MDIO bus, and does not need an attached dev either.
Basically, the phy_connect call doesn't do any connection, it just
creates the fixed PHY.

The proposal of this patch is to introduce a new fixed_phy_create
function which will take a single argument: the ofnode that holds this:

	port@4 {
		reg = <4>;
		phy-mode = "internal";

		fixed-link {
			speed = <2500>;
			full-duplex;
		};
	};

and probe a fixed PHY driver using the information from this ofnode.
DSA will probably be the only user of this function.

common: Drop asm/global_data.h from common header

2021-02-02T20:33:42+00:00

Move this out of the common header and include it only where needed.  In
a number of cases this requires adding "struct udevice;" to avoid adding
another large header or in other cases replacing / adding missing header
files that had been pulled in, very indirectly.   Finally, we have a few
cases where we did not need to include  at all, so
remove that include.

phy: make phy_connect_fixed work with a null mdio bus

2020-09-24T12:27:44+00:00

It is utterly pointless to require an MDIO bus pointer for a fixed PHY
device. The fixed.c implementation does not require it, only
phy_device_create. Fix that.

net: phy: add phyid search in vendor specific space

2020-06-12T17:17:23+00:00

There are devices accesible through mdio clause-45, such as
retimers, that do not have PMA or PCS blocks.
This patch adds MDIO_MMD_VEND1 on the list of device addresses
where phyid is searched. Previous order of devices was kept.

net: phy: Fix overlong PHY timeout

2020-03-09T23:11:24+00:00

Commit 27c3f70f3b50 ("net: phy: Increase link up delay in
genphy_update_link()") increased the per-iteration waiting time from
1ms to 50ms, without adjusting the timeout counter. This lead to the
timeout increasing from the typical 4 seconds to over three minutes.

Adjust the timeout counter evaluation by that factor of 50 to bring the
timeout back to the intended value.

phy: Include NC-SI in phy setup

2020-03-09T23:11:23+00:00

Add NC-SI to the usual phy handling. This makes two notable changes:
- Somewhat similar to a fixed phy, phy_connect() will create an NC-SI
phy if CONFIG_PHY_NCSI is defined.
- An early return is added to phy_read() and phy_write() to handle a
case like the NC-SI phy which does not define a bus.
