Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] of: property: link PHY package suppliers to member PHYs
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 18:46:16 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814-submit-phy-package-fwdevlink-v1-v1-2-2319844f057a@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814-submit-phy-package-fwdevlink-v1-v1-0-2319844f057a@gmail.com>

Ethernet PHY package nodes describe shared resources for their member
PHYs, but are not populated as struct devices. fw_devlink consequently
represents the package dependencies with proxy links to the closest
ancestor device.

The MDIO bus is a class device without a driver, so such a proxy can
remain available indefinitely and prevent a supplier from receiving its
sync_state() callback even after every PHY has probed.

Treat every enabled member PHY as a consumer of the common package
suppliers. The links can then be converted to links for the real PHY
devices and retired through their normal driver lifecycle.

Fixes: 385ef48f4686 ("net: phy: add support for scanning PHY in PHY packages nodes")
