If there's a sfp bus, then we don't expect a PHY from the MAC driver (as there can only be one PHY attached), and as phylink_expects_phy() is for the MAC driver to use, we should be returning false if pl->sfp_bus != NULL. pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_FIXED || (pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_INBAND && phy_interface_mode_is_8023z(interface)) Is true when we're in fixed-link mode, or if we're in in-band mode and using 1000base-X or 25000base-X. These are the conditions that we don't expect the MAC driver to give us a PHY. To put that in positive logic, we expect a PHY from the MAC when we're in PHY mode, or when we're in in-band mode and using SGMII, QSGMII, USXGMII, RGMII, etc. The reason for the extra "&& !pl->sfp_bus" in phylink_attach_phy() is to allow SFPs to connect to the MAC using inband mode with 1000base-X and 2500base-X interface modes. These are not for the MAC-side of things though. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up.
