Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] net: mdio: reset PHY before attempting to access registers in fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 15:45:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015134503.107925-4-buday.csaba@prolan.hu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251015134503.107925-1-buday.csaba@prolan.hu>
Implement support for the `phy-id-read-needs-reset` device tree
property.
When the ID of an ethernet PHY is not provided by the 'compatible'
string in the device tree, its actual ID is read via the MDIO bus.
For some PHYs this could be unsafe, since a hard reset may be
necessary to safely access the MDIO registers.
This patch performs the hard-reset before attempting to read the ID,
when the mentioned device tree property is present.
There were previous attempts to implement such functionality, I
tried to collect a few of these (see links).

V1 -> V2:
- renamed DT property `reset-phy-before-probe` to
`phy-id-read-needs-reset`
- renamed fwnode_reset_phy_before_probe() to
fwnode_reset_phy()
- added kernel-doc for fwnode_reset_phy()
- improved error handling in fwnode_reset_phy()
