[PATCH v1 0/2] arm64: dts: freescale: Remove Toradex OSM Development Board ETH_A PHY interrupt

[Francesco Dolcini]

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

GPIO_A7 is a boot strap on the OSM iMX95 module. The pull-up on the OSM
Development Board Ethernet PHY interrupt line causes the module to enter USB
loader mode instead of booting normally when the reset button is held for more
than 0.5 seconds.

To resolve this issue, the PHY interrupt connection has been removed from the
carrier board, and GPIO_A7 is now exposed in the jumper area for
general-purpose use.

Since the OSM Development Board is shared across OSM modules, update the Device
Trees for OSM iMX95, iMX93 and iMX91 accordingly. The Ethernet PHY now operates
in polling mode on all three modules.

Remove the PHY interrupt configuration to use polling, and move the

Look like it is hardware modification, can declear the version number here

Since V_x.y, the PHY interrupt connection has been removed...

Valid point. It deserves a better explanation.

 1. There is no change in the actual board revision.
 2. Moving from interrupt to polling works always, so it does not
    require any change on the board.
 3. On our board is possible to disconnect the interrupt just removing a
    jumper. The actual board revision stay the same. This is a new
    product, that is going to be generally available in a few days. We
    are going to ship boards with such jumper removed to
    solve the i.MX95 strap option issue on reset.
 4. Future board revisions might completely disconnect the ethernet
    interrupt, removing the actual connection from the schematics. Given
    we work in polling (after this patch is merged), this will be a
    transparent change that will not create any kind of software
    incompatibility.


Should I incorporate this detailed information in the commit message and
send a v2 or the current commit message is fine ?

Please add this information at commit message, otherwise, it will be strange,
why wire trace suddently route to HEADER from irq line.

[PATCH v1 2/2] arm64: dts: freescale: imx93-imx91-toradex-osm-dev: Remove ETH_A PHY interrupt

[Francesco Dolcini]

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

The OSM Development Board is shared across OSM modules. The Ethernet PHY
interrupt connection to GPIO_A7 has been removed to resolve a boot strap
conflict on OSM iMX95.

Update the OSM iMX93 and iMX91 Device Trees accordingly. Remove the PHY
interrupt configuration to use polling, and move the GPIO_A7 pinctrl
configuration to the GPIO controller. The pin is now available in the
jumper area for general-purpose use.
