[PATCH net-next 0/4] add PLCA RS support and onsemi NCN26000

[PATCH net-next 0/4] add PLCA RS support and onsemi NCN26000

[Piergiorgio Beruto]

This patchset adds support for getting/setting the Physical Layer
Collision Avoidace (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) configuration and
status on Ethernet PHYs that supports it.

PLCA is a feature that provides improved media-access performance in
terms of throughput, latency and fairness for multi-drop (P2MP)
half-duplex PHYs. PLCA is defined in Clause 148 of the IEEE802.3
specifications as amended by 802.3cg-2019. Currently, PLCA is supported
by the 10BASE-T1S single-pair Ethernet PHY defined in the same standard
and related amendments. The OPEN Alliance SIG TC14 defines additional
specifications for the 10BASE-T1S PHY, including a standard register map
for PHYs that embeds the PLCA RS (see PLCA management registers at
https://www.opensig.org/about/specifications/).

The changes proposed herein add the appropriate ethtool netlink interface for
configuring the PLCA RS on PHYs that supports it. A seperate patchset
further modifies the ethtool userspace program to show and modify the
configuration/status of the PLCA RS.

Additionally, this patchset adds support for the onsemi NCN26000
Industrial Ethernet 10BASE-T1S PHY that uses the newly added PLCA
infrastructure.

Piergiorgio Beruto (4):
  net/ethtool: Add netlink interface for the PLCA RS
  phylib: Add support for 10BASE-T1S link modes and PLCA config
  drivers/net/phy: Add driver for the onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S PHY
  driver/ncn26000: add PLCA support
