Hi Harini

What exactly is you use case? Are you connecting to a Ethernet switch?
To an SFP cage with a copper module?

Yes, an SFP cage is the common HW target for this patch. Essentially, there
is no external PHY driver that the macb can "connect" to; if there was an
external PHY on board, its link status would also indicate when the GEM(PCS)
to external PHY link was down. But in the absence of an external PHY on
HW, PCS link status needs to be monitored and reported to users.

Harini

Hi Harini

So you have a copper PHY in the SFP cage. It will talk SGMII
signalling to your PS SGMII. When that signalling is complete i would
expect the MAC to raise an interrupt, just as if the SGMII PHY was
soldered on the board. So i don't see why you need this polling?

Thanks. Sorry, I overlooked this interrupt. Let me try that.

Even with the use of this interrupt, the link status actions (link print and
netif ops) will still be required. And also the need for macb_open to
proceed without phydev. Could you please let me know if that is acceptable
to patch or if there's a cleaner way to
report this link status?

Regards,
Harini

It sounds like you need to convert to phylink, so you get full sfp
support. phylib does not handle hotplug of PHYs.

Please look at the comments Russell gave the last time this was
attempted.

Yes, I looked at the comments from Russell and wasn't sure if this
case qualified for phylink.

[Harini Katakam]

The internal SGMII mode in PS GEM on ZynqMP can be used without any
external PHY on board. In this case, the phy framework doesn't kick
in to monitor the link status. Hence do the same in macb driver.
