Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/4] net: dsa: mxl862xx: support firmware update
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 01:50:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1783988826.git.daniel@makrotopia.org> (raw)
The firmware of MxL862xx managed Ethernet switches can be updated
in-system via the same MDIO bus which is also used to manage the
switch. Wire up the devlink flash_update operation for DSA drivers
and implement firmware update and version reporting in the mxl862xx
driver.
Changes since RFC [1]:
- detect a switch stuck in MCUboot rescue mode at probe, register
the switch without any ports and report "mcuboot-rescue" as the
running firmware version, so devlink flash can recover from a
failed or interrupted update (Andrew Lunn)
- clarify in the commit message of patch 2 that the per-transaction
MDIO bus locking is about other, non-switch devices on the same
MDIO bus (Andrew Lunn)
- mention in the commit message of patch 3 that closing the ports
also stops phylib from polling the switch-internal PHYs during
the transfer (Andrew Lunn)
- split up run-on sentence and explain the dynamically allocated
reprobe work item instead of just pointing at iwlwifi in the
commit message of patch 3 (Manuel Ebner)
- use kzalloc_obj() (Manuel Ebner)
- state the actual duration of a complete flash and reprobe cycle
(just under a minute) in comments and the commit message, and
clarify that the timeout values are generous upper bounds
(Manuel Ebner)
