Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] dt-bindings: net: add fsl,erratum-a011043
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2020 15:20:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1579699229-5948-2-git-send-email-madalin.bucur@oss.nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1579699229-5948-1-git-send-email-madalin.bucur@oss.nxp.com>
Add an entry for erratum A011043: the MDIO_CFG[MDIO_RD_ER]
bit may be falsely set when reading internal PCS registers.
MDIO reads to internal PCS registers may result in having
the MDIO_CFG[MDIO_RD_ER] bit set, even when there is no
error and read data (MDIO_DATA[MDIO_DATA]) is correct.
Software may get false read error when reading internal
PCS registers through MDIO. As a workaround, all internal
MDIO accesses should ignore the MDIO_CFG[MDIO_RD_ER] bit.

For internal PHY device on internal mdio bus, a PHY node should be created.
See the definition of the PHY node in booting-without-of.txt for an
example of how to define a PHY (Internal PHY has no interrupt line).
