The Realtek Otto switch platform consists of four different series
- RTL838x aka maple : 28 port 1G Switches
- RTL839x aka cypress : 52 port 1G Switches
- RTL930x aka longan : 28 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches
- RTL931x aka mango : 56 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches
While the MDIO hardware polling unit and its necessity for the MAC
layer was always well known, no detailed documentation was available.
For this series the MDIO bus was inspected with a logic analyzer for
a better understanding how polling and kernel access interact on the
bus. All this will be explained now in the driver comments.
This patch series adds support for the RTL83xx devices. For this
- Enhance device tree binding.
- Add special handling for limitations enforced by hardware polling.
These already have minor side effects on RTL93xx devices but are even
more critical for the RTL83xx hardware.
- Add RTL83xx coding.

v5 -> v6:
- Adapt polling documentation with new findings after questions
about consistency of 100MBit downspeed detection. (Andrew)
- Add a clearer explanation to the page tracking commit and why
it was choosen over a polling enabling/disabling solution. (Andrew)
- Make bus notification symmetrical and respect LIFO order. For this
add a __phy_detach() helper that avoids code duplication in the
phy_attach_direct() error paths. Drop the mdio_bus_notified
status bit. (Andrew, Sashiko)
- Adapt notify_phy_attach()/notify_phy_detach() documentation to
reflect above changes.
- Drop lockdep_assert_held check from otto_emdio_set_port_polling()
and remove lock handling during polling initialization. At that
point in time the driver has exclusive access. (Andrew)
- Drop polling check in otto_emdio_notify_phy_attach(). Notification
is symmetrical now so there is no chance of double invocation.
(Andrew)
- Add Reviewed-by to "Increase MDIO timeout" patch (Andrew)
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260722062356.12291-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de/
v5 Sashiko review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260722062356.12291-1-markus.stockhausen%40gmx.de
v4 -> v5:
- Design bus notification symmetric so that notify_phy_detach
is only invoked when notify_phy_attach succeeded. (Jakub)
- Improve documentation of notification callbacks. (Jakub)
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260709064157.2865063-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de/
v4 Sashiko review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260709064157.2865063-1-markus.stockhausen%40gmx.de
v3 -> v4:
- Add Acked-by for dt-bindings commit (Conor)
- Test phy_poll bitfield under lock to avoid race. (Sashiko)
- Fix whitespace in commit "configure hardware polling" (Markus)
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260705163532.2853959-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de/
v3 Sashiko review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260705163532.2853959-1-markus.stockhausen%40gmx.de
v2 -> v3:
- Enhance documentation and make clear that the driver and not the
kernel must handle the bus mess. (Andrew)
- Block non-Realtek PHYs on C22 buses to avoid issues with driver
internal register 31 handling. (Andrew, Chris)
- Drop C45 over C22 patch. This would need a bus lock/unlock design.
For all known hardware designs it is not needed. (Andrew)
- Drop tune_polling() and init_polling() from private structure.
It is not used in this series and only produces review bot
questions. (Sashiko)
- Sort patches for better logical consistency. (Markus)
- Add device tree patch that was missed in v2. (Markus)
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260629152336.2239826-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de/
v2 Sashiko review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260629152336.2239826-1-markus.stockhausen%40gmx.de
v1 -> v2:
- The polling activation logic was refactored. V1 simply activated
polling after bus probing. Now a dedicated phydev/bus callback
takes care of this and also handles deferred PHY probing. (Sashiko)
- Run MMD prefix helper before register 31 (aka Realtek page register)
handling. (Jakub's bot)
- Always run MMD postfix - even if the c22 register access fails. This
ensures that the MMD state machine stays consistent. Adapt the error
handling inside the postfix function to not overwrite the real MDIO
return code (Sashiko, Jakub's bot)
- Drop unused RTL8390_PHY_CTRL_PARK_PAGE define. Like on RTL931x this
field must not be set and thus can be ignored. (Sashiko)
- Change title in device tree documentation. Because of this do NOT
add the Reviewed-by of Krzysztof. (Jakub's bot)
- Fix wrong use of RTL839x in commit message of patch "c45 over c22
mitigation". RTL930x was wrongly named RTL839x in the list of good
devices. (Markus)
- Fix typos (e.g. c22 over c45) in polling documentation (Jakub's bot)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260613112946.1071411-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de/

The lower end Realtek Otto switches provide 1G only and are divided into
two series:
- Maple : RTL838x up to 28 ports
- Cypress: RTL839x up to 56 ports
The Maple based devices have 3 different SoCs: RTL8380, RTL8381 and
RTL8382. The Cypress series consists of the RTL8391, RTL8392 and
RTL8393 SoCs. The MDIO controller of these switches works like the
existing RTL93xx logic but has different characteristics and different
registers. Add new compatibles in the device tree.
With the extended compatibility list change the title to better reflect
its scope. Especially add the "Ethernet" tag as these devices have
multiple MDIO controllers.

Add a detailed explanation how the hardware polling unit in the
Realtek Otto switches works. This simplifies developing future
patches and reviewing them.

+ * phy_read(phy, 6);
+ *
+ * After one PHY status is read, the polling engine goes over to the next PHY. If one bus is fully
+ * scanned it switches over to the next bus. Basically the polling system is always busy and the
+ * MAC state is updated in real-time.
+ *
+ * This is a glimpse look at the complexity of the polling and leaves out the C45 case and the MAC
+ * register update logic afterwards. Important to note:
+ *
+ * - 100 MBit downshifts (broken cables) are identified and propagated to the MAC correctly
+ * - Access to MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV and MDIO_AN_EEE_LPABLE works via C45 over C22.
+ * - It is unclear if these sequences change for different PHYs.
+ * - Access to Realtek reserved register 26 (link speed) has not yet been seen.
+ *
+ * How does MDIO access from kernel work?
+ *
+ * When issuing MDIO accesses via an MMIO based interface the final write to the command register
+ * sets a "run command now" bit. Between two polling sequences for different PHYs the hardware
+ * checks if a user command needs to run and sends it onto the bus. Afterwards it simply continues
+ * its polling work. Inspecting the command sequence for a paged read on the logic analyzer gives:
+ *
+ * RTL8380 RTL8393
+ * --------------------------- ---------------------------
+ * phy_write(phy, 31, page); phy_write(phy, 31, page);
+ * phy_write(phy, reg, value); phy_write(phy, reg, value);
+ * phy_write(phy, 31, 0);
+ *
+ * What does this mean?
+ *
+ * There are slight differences in polling and PHY access between the models but the challenge
+ * stays the same. On the one hand that greatly simplifies the MAC layer, on the other hand it
+ * has some implications for the kernel PHY subsystem.
+ *
+ * - Without the polling and a proper MAC status, some of the link handling features do not work.
+ * Especially an unpopulated MAC_LINK_STS register cancels operations to other MAC registers.
+ * - The Realtek page register 31 is magically modified in the background so that polling will
+ * read the right data. On the RTL838x polling simply resets it to zero. Other devices seem
+ * to track the page access "magically" in the background.
+ * - A C45 over C22 kernel access sequence is most likely to fail because chances are high that
+ * the polling engine overwrites registers 13/14 in between.
+ * - PHY firmware loading can have issues. Especially if a PHY is designed to expect a clean
+ * sequence of registers and values without deviation.
+ * - An access to one PHY will need to wait for the next free slot of the polling engine.
+ *
+ * Conclusion: The Realtek MDIO bus driver PHY access must know and handle any interference that
+ * arises from the above described hardware polling.

From: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
Some MDIO buses require programiming PHY polling registers depending
on the PHY type. RealTek switch SoCs are the most prominent example
of a DSA switch which doesn't allow to program MAC speed, duplex and
flow-control settings without using PHY polling to do so [1].
Avoid a half-baked solution in the MDIO bus driver because
- it must reinvent the bus scanning to determine the PHYs and
- it must anticipate the right point in time (e.g. deferred PHYs).
Hence there is a need to inform the MDIO bus driver that a PHY is
being attached or detached. Provide two hooks in struct mii_bus
- notify_phy_attach(): called in phy_attach_direct() right after
PHY hardware has been initialized and before PHY is resumed.
- notify_phy_detach(): called in phy_detach() right after PHY
has been suspended.
The implementation is symmetric and follows LIFO teardown. The
detach notifier is only called when the attach notification
succeeded. For this
- Relocate code from phy_detach() into a new helper __phy_detach()
- The helper takes an additional parameter notify_bus that decides
if the bus notification should be sent or not.
- Call the helper with notification from slimmed down version of
phy_detach() and without notification from phy_attach_direct()
error path.
Remark! A slightly different version of this patch was part of a
former series [2]. The discussion already showed that an initialization
hook should be placed somewhere late during the whole setup. This
commit implants it right after phy_init_hw() as suggested. On top of
this it adds the detach hook.

During PHY probing and configuration complex configuration sequences
might be issued and firmware might be loaded. Hardware polling can
interfere badly with that. E.g. a hardware polling MMD c45 over c22
request might break an ongoing firmware loading sequence.
To avoid such issues the polling of the Realtek Otto switches can be
(de)activated with one or two 32 bit mask registers. Each bit enables
(=1) or disables (=0) the polling of the corresponding port. Make use
of this as follows:
- Disable polling for all ports when the MDIO driver starts.
- Reenable polling just after the PHY has been attached.
- Disable polling just before the PHY is being detached.
This synchronizes the kernel and hardware polling to some extent. It
gracefully handles deferred probing of PHYs in case the driver is
loaded asynchronously during boot. Additionally it brings the hardware
polling into a consistent operation mode for devices where U-Boot does
not take care.

The hardware polling unit of the Realtek switches has a very special
handling for c22 PHY register 31 (aka Realtek page register) in place.
- On the RTL838x it is permanently reset to zero.
- On other devices there is some magic saving/restoring (aka parking)
in the background in place.
This makes access to PHYs a gamble.
It is vital to keep the polling alive so the MAC layer can rely on
consistent data. Intercept access to c22 register 31 and handle it
internally. Store the desired value for each port in the driver. When
issuing hardware access to other registers add the page to the command
towards the controller. This given, the hardware will run two c22
commands that are not interrupted by polling.
... hardware poll ...
phy_write(phy, 31, page)
phy_write(phy, reg, value)
... hardware poll ...
Looking at this implementation one might argue that disabling/enabling
polling might be a cleaner solution. But one must remember that
- This driver differentiates clearly between C22 and C45 buses. During
probing it enables only one of the protocols for a bus.
- All known devices run RTL8218 (B/D/E) or RTL8214FC on 1G
- RTL839x gives link flapping when deactivating polling for a port
So a solution for a Realtek-only ecosystem is required. This commit
copies the downstream-proven driver-only page handling patch without
any new MDIO callbacks and is the lowest common denominator.
Remark! To keep this simple, writes to register 31 are only accepted if
they are lower than the device specific raw page - 0..4094/8190.
Otherwise -EINVAL is returned. Under the above assumption (Only 1G
Realtek PHYs on c22 bus) this is no limitation.

RTL838x devices with 28 ports produce PHY access timeout errors during
one of three boots while waiting for MDIO command completion. This is
currently set to 1ms.
Background: Access to the Realtek Otto ethernet MDIO bus must wait for
a free slot between two hardware polls. The polling sequence consists
of at least 17 commands on the RTL838x devices. This delay can be nicely
seen when disabling polling completely. The following times are measured
on a bus running on the default 2.5MHz. Time measured is from the last
register write that sets the command-start-bit until the hardware
responds with the command-finished-bit set.
- average c22 read with polling enabled on all ports: ~380us
- average c22 read with polling enabled on one port: ~380us
- average c22 read with polling completely disabled: ~180us
For this bus frequency the bare hardware runtime for a single command
(32 bit preamble + 32 bit data) is ~25us. So the hardware adds quite
some overhead. On top of this comes the fact that the RTL838x devices
are low on resources (500Mhz 4Kec core with 16K cache).
Increase the timeout to 10ms to be on the safe side.
Remark! In a future patch the bus clock frequency will be made
configurable with a minimum frequency of 1.25MHz. Setting this
(e.g. for debugging purposes) doubles the command run times but
will safely stay below 10ms.

The MDIO driver has been prepared for multiple device support. Add all
required bits for the RTL838x (aka maple) series. This is straightforward
but some things are worth mentioning.
- The device has a lot in common with the RTL930x series. It has 28 ports,
4096 (Realtek) pages and 4 MMIO registers.
- The MDIO engine has no fail bit. Thus the mask is set to zero.
- There is only one SMI bus for 1G PHYs. No bus_map_base register exists.
- The setup_controller() function needs no c45 setup but must activate
the PHY access.

The MDIO driver has been prepared for multiple device support. Add all
required bits for the RTL839x (aka cypress) series. This is straightforward
but some things are worth mentioning.
- The device has a lot in common with the RTL931x series. It has 8192
(Realtek) pages and 7 MMIO registers.
- There are two SMI buses for 1G PHYs. Neither the bus nor address map
registers exist.
- The hardware has not much to configure. So the setup_controller()
function is not needed.
- c22 read/write functions must be called with PARK_PAGE = 0. Keep code
clean and avoid setting it to zero, matching the behavior of the RTL9310
logic.

net: mdio: realtek-rtl9300: Configure hardware polling during probing
This commit toggles hardware polling for the Realtek Otto switches during
initialization and PHY attach/detach. This helps avoid conflicts with
probing and firmware loading sequences.

[Severity: Low]
Is this phy_poll bitmap actually needed?
It looks like this field is updated when ports are attached and detached,
but it doesn't appear to be read anywhere in the driver. Could we remove it
entirely to simplify the state tracking?

If the bitmap is unread, can this __set_bit() update be dropped?

[Severity: Low]
Similarly, this __clear_bit() update could also be removed if the bitmap
is dead state-tracking code.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] LIFO teardown violation in __phy_detach() clears phydev->attached_dev before invoking notify_phy_detach() hook.
- [Medium] Calling phy_attach_direct() on an already attached PHY destructively tears down the existing attachment without notifying the MDIO bus, risking hardware lockups.

--- Patch [3]: [PATCH net-next v6 3/8] net: phy: add (*notify_phy_attach/detach)() hooks to struct mii_bus ---
commit d7589ba7dbd162eb0da02fc6dd0debdc3bbed116
Author: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
net: phy: add (*notify_phy_attach/detach)() hooks to struct mii_bus
This patch adds notify_phy_attach() and notify_phy_detach() hooks to
struct mii_bus. This allows MDIO bus drivers to handle PHY specific
initialization without reinventing bus scanning. It implements a symmetric
LIFO teardown where the detach hook is called only if the attach notification
succeeded.

[Severity: Medium]
The commit message mentions a symmetric LIFO teardown. However,
phydev->attached_dev is cleared before notify_phy_detach() is called here.
In phy_attach_direct(), phydev->attached_dev is set before
notify_phy_attach() is invoked. Does this break the LIFO symmetry,
preventing bus drivers from accessing the attached network interface during
teardown?

[Severity: Medium]
If phy_attach_direct() is called on an already attached PHY, it hits the
-EBUSY check and jumps to this error path.
This is a pre-existing issue, but destructively tearing down an existing
attachment upon a second attach attempt still occurs. With this patch, the
error path now explicitly passes false to __phy_detach(), suppressing the bus
notification.
Since the existing attachment would have previously triggered a successful
notify_phy_attach(), doesn't skipping the detach notification here leave the
bus out of sync, potentially causing MDIO timeouts if the bus continues
polling a reset PHY?
