[PATCH net v2 0/2] Fix PHY handle no longer parsing

[Michael Sit Wei Hong]

After the fixed link support was introduced, it is observed that PHY
no longer attach to the MAC properly.

This patch series fixes the issue and maintains fixed-link capability.

[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: stmmac: fix PHY handle parsing

[Michael Sit Wei Hong]

phylink_fwnode_phy_connect returns 0 when set to MLO_AN_INBAND.
This causes the PHY handle parsing to skip and the PHY will not be attached
to the MAC.

Add additional check for PHY handle parsing when set to MLO_AN_INBAND.

Please could you expand the commit message because i'm having trouble
following this.

phylink_fwnode_phy_connect() says:

	/* Fixed links and 802.3z are handled without needing a PHY */
	if (pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_FIXED ||
	    (pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_INBAND &&
	     phy_interface_mode_is_8023z(pl->link_interface)))
		return 0;

So your first statement is not true. It should be MLO_AN_INBAND
and phy_interface_mode_is_8023z.

> Add additional check for PHY handle parsing when set to MLO_AN_INBAND.

Looking at the patch, there is no reference to MLO_AN_INBAND, or
managed = "in-band-status";

That's the pesky "xpcs_an_inband" which ends up as phylink's
"ovr_an_inband"... I'm sure these are random renames of stuff to make
sure that people struggle to follow the code.

It is as mentioned above, the "xpcs_an_inband" will end up as
"ovr_an_inband" which will then
set pl->cfg_link_an_mode = MLO_AN_INBAND in the
phylink_parse_mode() in phylink.c

The phylink_fwnode_phy_connect() checks if both
MLO_AN_INBAND && phy_interface_mode_is_8023z() true
before returning 0.

But in our case, we only have MLO_AN_INBAND is true, which
then goes to the next part of the code.

	phy_fwnode = fwnode_get_phy_node(fwnode);
	if (IS_ERR(phy_fwnode)) {
		if (pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_PHY)
			return -ENODEV;
		return 0;
	}

Where here the IS_ERR(phy_fwnode) returns true, then it
Checks for MLO_AN_PHY, which in our case is not, so it returns
a 0.

When returned 0, our driver will then skip the manual phy parsing
due to if (!fwnode || ret)

It is as mentioned above, the "xpcs_an_inband" will end up as
"ovr_an_inband" which will then
set pl->cfg_link_an_mode = MLO_AN_INBAND in the
phylink_parse_mode() in phylink.c

The phylink_fwnode_phy_connect() checks if both
MLO_AN_INBAND && phy_interface_mode_is_8023z() true
before returning 0.

But in our case, we only have MLO_AN_INBAND is true, which

	phy_fwnode = fwnode_get_phy_node(fwnode);
	if (IS_ERR(phy_fwnode)) {

			return -ENODEV;
		return 0;
	}

Where here the IS_ERR(phy_fwnode) returns true, then it
Checks for MLO_AN_PHY, which in our case is not, so it returns
a 0.

Let me make my comment more clear, because I don't think you understood
it correctly.

Please rename "xpcs_an_inband" to "ovr_an_inband" or
"phylink_ovr_an_inband" so it's obvious what it is and where it ends up.

Thanks.

[PATCH net v2 2/2] net: stmmac: move fixed-link support fixup code

[Michael Sit Wei Hong]

xpcs_an_inband value is updated in the speed_mode_2500 function
which turns on the xpcs_an_inband mode.

Moving the fixed-link fixup code to right before phylink setup to
ensure no more fixup will affect the fixed-link mode configurations.

Ong Boon, since you added the code which gets moved - could we get 
an ack/review tag from you? Helps increase the confidence in the change.

Please could you explain why this is correct, when you could simple
not set priv->plat->mdio_bus_data->xpcs_an_inband = true;
in intel_speed_mode_2500()?

This all seems like hacks, rather than a clean design.

You are aware, I hope, that fixed-link and having a PHY are mutually
exclusive?

In other words, you can't use fixed-link to specify parameters for a
PHY.

Yes but when the fixed-link support code was added, all our non
fixed-link devices are not attaching the PHYs to the MACs, hence
the reason for this patch series, to ensure both fixed-link and
non fixed-link scenarios work properly.

Ah, it's the "there should be a PHY here" case you're trying to cater
for, rather than actually a fixed-link.

So, how about adding a helper that is basically:

bool phylink_expects_phy(struct phylink *phylink)
{
	return pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_PHY;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(phylink_expects_phy);

and use that to test whether you need to manually find a PHY to attach,
rather than trying to detect whether a fixed-link stanza appears in
firmware?

Thanks.
