[PATCH 0/3] net-next: stmmac: support future possible different internal phy mode

[PATCH 0/3] net-next: stmmac: support future possible different internal phy mode

[Corentin Labbe]

Hello

The current way to find if the phy is internal is to compare DT phy-mode
and emac_variant/internal_phy.
But it will negate a possible future SoC where an external PHY use the
same phy mode than the internal one.

This patchs series adds a new way to find if the PHY is internal, via its
compatible.

[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: net: add compatible for internal sun8i-h3/sun8i-v3s PHYs

[Corentin Labbe]

The internal PHYs for H3 ans V3S now need to have their own compatible.
This patch rename them in the binding documentation.

To avoid repeating the past, this patch, if approved, will be merged
through the sunxi tree, not netdev nor net-next.

Are you expecting people to override this properly?

As it currently is, any external phy at address 1 will simply
reuse the same device node. And if they don't override the
property correctly, the driver will end up trying to use
the internal phy, while the user is expecting the external
one to be used.

Maybe you could move this to some other address, maybe the last
valid one, or second last valid one?

Some board designers may use other address.

For example, on Nano Pi NEO2 the PHY is attached at address 0x7.

[PATCH 3/3] net-next: stmmac: dwmac-sun8i: choose internal PHY via compatible

[Corentin Labbe]

The current way to find if the phy is internal is to compare DT phy-mode
and emac_variant/internal_phy.
But it will negate a possible future SoC where an external PHY use the
same phy mode than the internal one.

This patch adds a new way to find if the PHY is internal, via its
compatible.

Since the phy_mode of the internal PHY does need to be know, the
variant internal_phy member is converted to a boolean.

Nit: please add a verb to the name, like "has_internal_phy",
or even "soc_has_internal_phy". This makes it clear what this
property represents.

You've already joined in on the discussion for the patch "net: stmmac:
dwmac-rk: Add internal phy support". It is pretty much the same issue.
Please wait for it to come to a proper conclusion. At least then we can
agree on something so different platforms with the same problem don't
have diverging solutions.

Since you also have "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22", you won't get the
warning. But still, your device tree gives the wrong idea.

I've probably asked this before: Does the internal PHY use a different
PHY ID in registers 2 and 3?

So this is not about loading the correct PHY driver. You can already
do this based on the PHY IDs...

This is about selecting which PHY to use. Internal or External?

It is too late when we know the PHY ID.
We need to set a syscon for choosing external/internal PHY.
So we can rely only on DT.

The point is, its not a property of the PHY. It is a syscon or a MAC
property. Having it as a MAC property would be more generic.

Since the Device Tree needs to be correct to identify which PHY to use
(internal or external), if you use the standard compatible string for
the PHY that contains its OUI, e.g:

compatible = "ethernet-phy-id0044.1400", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22"

then you can have your Ethernet MAC identify whether this is an internal
PHY by having a list of compatible strings to match against.

Corentin, can you make sure you copy netdev, Andrew and myself on the
next submissions so we don't have to keep track of seemingly identical
threads (this one + the rockchip dwmac changes) and we can work towards
one solution?

Thanks

So basicly, I replace sun8i-h3-ephy by ethernet-phy-id0044.1400 and it is good ?

IIRC you mentioned some time ago the PHY in the AC200 also has this ID?
Do you remember if this is true?

If someone were crazy enough to hook that up to the H3, then we still
wouldn't be able to tell if it's the internal or external one.

Yes it's certainly a AC200 PHY in the H3.

Why someone would put the same external PHY than the internal one ?
Yeah its totally crazy and I think we are safe by saying "it's not supported".
