[PATCH v2 net-next 0/3] add "nxp,phy-output-refclk" to instead of "nxp,rmii-refclk-in"

[PATCH v2 net-next 0/3] add "nxp,phy-output-refclk" to instead of "nxp,rmii-refclk-in"

[Wei Fang]

The TJA11xx PHYs have the capability to provide 50MHz reference clock
in RMII mode and output on REF_CLK pin. Therefore, add the new property
"nxp,phy-output-refclk" to support this feature.

[PATCH v2 net-next 1/3] dt-bindings: net: tja11xx: use phy-output-refclk to instead of rmii-refclk-in

[Wei Fang]

Per the RMII specification, the REF_CLK is sourced from MAC to PHY
or from an external source. But for TJA11xx PHYs, they support to
output a 50MHz RMII reference clock on REF_CLK pin. Previously the
"nxp,rmii-refclk-in" was added to indicate that in RMII mode, if
this property present, REF_CLK is input to the PHY, otherwise it
is output. This seems inappropriate now. Because according to the
RMII specification, the REF_CLK is originally input, so there is
no need to add an additional "nxp,rmii-refclk-in" property to
declare that REF_CLK is input. On the contrary, a vendor-defined
property needs to be added if we want the TJA11xx PHYs to provide
the 50MHz RMII reference clock. Therefore, it is more reasonable
to add "nxp,phy-output-refclk" instead of "nxp,rmii-refclk-in".

[PATCH v2 net-next 2/3] net: phy: tja11xx: replace "nxp,rmii-refclk-in" with "nxp,phy-output-refclk"

[Wei Fang]

As the new property "nxp,phy-output-refclk" is added to instead of
the "nxp,rmii-refclk-in" property, so replace the "nxp,rmii-refclk-in"
property used in the driver with the "nxp,reverse-mode" property and
make slight modifications.

It does not backward compatible, the related PHY nodes in DTS also
need to be updated. I have not seen "nxp,rmii-refclk-in" used in the
upstream. For nodes that do not use " nxp,rmii-refclk-in", they need
to be updated, but unfortunately I cannot confirm which DTS use
TJA11XX PHY, and there may be no relevant nodes in upstream DTS.

Since you have switched the polarity, devicestrees that contain
"nxp,rmii-refclk-in" would actually not need an update to preserve
functionality. However...

...as you say here, all tja11xx phy nodes that do not have the property
would need to be updated to retain functionality. Given you can't even
determine which devicetrees would need to be updated, I'm going to have
to NAK this change as an unnecessary ABI break.

Okay, that make sense, "nxp,rmii-refclk-in" was added only for TJA1100 and
TJA1101, although it does not seem to be a suitable property now, it cannot
be changed at present. :(
Since TJA1103/TJA1104/TJA1120/TJA1121 use different driver than TJA1100
and TJA1101, which is nxp-c4-tja11xx. I think it's fine to add " nxp,phy-output-refclk "
for these PHYs, so I will remove this patch from the patch set.

If they use a different binding, then yeah, you can add use the new
name/polarity for those devices.
