[PATCH net-next 0/7] net: stmmac: deprecate "snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating" property

[PATCH net-next 0/7] net: stmmac: deprecate "snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating" property

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Hi,

This series deprecates the "snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating" property for
stmmac.

MII Transmit clock gating, where the MAC hardware supports gating this
clock, is a function of the connected PHY capabilities, which it
reports through its status register.

GMAC versions that support transmit clock gating twiddle the LPITCSE
bit accordingly in the LPI control/status register, which is handled
by the GMAC core specific code.

So, "snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating" not something that is a GMAC property,
but is a work-around for phylib not providing an interface to determine
whether the PHY allows the transmit clock to be disabled.

This series converts the two SoCs that make use of this property (which,
I hasten to add, is set in the SoC code) to use the PHY capability bit
instead of a DT property, then removes the DT property from the .dtsi,
deprecates it in the snps,dwmac binding, and finally in the stmmac code.

I am expecting some discussion on how to merge this, as I think the
order in which these changes is made is important - we don't want to
deprecate the old way until the new code has landed.

[PATCH net-next 1/7] net: stmmac: allow platforms to use PHY tx clock stop capability

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Allow platform glue to instruct stmmac to make use of the PHY transmit
clock stop capability when deciding whether to allow the transmit clock
from the DWMAC core to be stopped.

[PATCH net-next 2/7] net: stmmac: starfive: use PHY capability for TX clock stop

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Whether the MII transmit clock can be stopped is primarily a property
of the PHY (there is a capability bit that should be checked first.)
Whether the MAC is capable of stopping the transmit clock is a separate
issue, but this is already handled by the core DesignWare MAC code.

Add the flag to allow the stmmac core to use the PHY capability.

I'm happy enough to have the jh7110 dtsi change go via netdev, rather
than sit on till the driver change propagates to my tree in a release's
