[PATCH net-next v1 0/5] net: enetc: S32N79 pseudo-MAC (PPM) networking support

[Claudiu Manoil]

This series adds networking support for the ENETCv4.4 pseudo-MAC (PPM)
ports found on the NXP S32N79 SoC. On S32N79, the ENETCv4 ports are
not wired to any external PHY/MII; instead they are internal "pseudo-MAC"
links into the on-chip NETC switch. These links are proprietary, expose
no standard IEEE interface, and run at a speed fixed at boot time by the
Port PCR[PSPEED] register.

A key use case is a port that has no "ethernet" DT node at all: NETC is
reached over PCI from a host that probes the ENETC, while the internal
NETC switch it connects to is not owned by Linux. Such a port must have
its fixed link synthesized at probe time.

Rather than hand-building a software node, the driver describes the
fixed link with a self-contained DT overlay (following the lan966x PCI
approach), applied unmodified via of_overlay_fdt_apply() onto the PCI
function's dynamic OF node (CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES). phylink then
picks up the fixed-link node through dev_fwnode(); the real operating
speed is sourced live from PCR[PSPEED].

The series touches three subsystems:
  - net/enetc:  pseudo-MAC overlay support + probing of 4.4 devices
  - arm64 dts:  NETC IEP18 ECAM node on S32N79 and its RDB board enable
  - PCI:        a quirk creating the OF node for the ENETC PMAC functions

Because this is primarily a networking feature and the pieces are
interdependent at runtime, it would be most convenient to merge the
whole series through the netdev tree.

Patch 1 has a runtime (not Kconfig) dependency on
CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES; absent that, the pseudo-MAC probe path
fails gracefully with -ENODEV.

v1: initial submission.

[PATCH net-next v1 1/5] net: enetc: Add pseudo-MAC support for ENETCv4 Ports via a DT overlay

[Claudiu Manoil]

ENETCv4 has special internal links when connected to the on-chip NETC
switch via internal switch ports, called pseudo-MAC links. These
pseudo-MACs are proprietary, they don't implement any standard IEEE
interface (like MII), and can be modeled as fixed links with the link
speed determined at boot time by the Port PCR[PSPEED] register
configuration.

We also need to be able to probe the ENETCv4 Ports featuring pseudo-MACs
as pure PCI devices, i.e. without any "ethernet" DT node representation.
The typical use case for this consists in a board with NETC connected
via PCI to another host which probes the ENETC. Note that in this
scenario, the pseudo-MAC ENETCs are connected internally to a NETC
switch that is not owned by Linux.

Since such a port has no "ethernet" DT node, its fixed link has to be
synthesized at probe time. Rather than hand-building a named software
node, describe the fixed link with a self-contained device-tree overlay,
following the approach used by the Microchip lan966x PCI driver. The
overlay is compiled from enetc4_pseudo_mac.dtso into a .dtbo blob and
embedded in the driver via the kernel's dtbo wrapping
(__dtbo_*_begin/_end symbols).

The overlay fragment uses an empty target-path, so it is grafted onto
the base node passed to of_overlay_fdt_apply(), i.e. the PCI function's
own dynamic OF node (created by the PCI core when
CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES is enabled). The fixed-link node is therefore
spliced directly onto the ENETC netdev's fwnode, exactly as if it had
come from static DT, and phylink picks it up through dev_fwnode().

The overlay only adds a new fixed-link node; it deliberately does not add
a phy-mode property. A device-tree overlay may only add new nodes (which
are tracked with the OF_OVERLAY flag and freed cleanly on removal), not
new properties onto an already-live node such as the PCI function's
dynamic OF node. The phy-mode is instead set programmatically by the driver
(pf->if_mode) before the overlay is applied.

The pseudo-MAC overlay path is selected when the port has no OF node, or
when it only has the empty PCI-synthesized node (OF_DYNAMIC), which
carries no fixed-link description. Ports described by static DT take the
regular of_get_phy_mode() path instead.

The overlay blob is applied unmodified, it only selects fixed-link
mode and carries the duplex setting; its 'speed' cell is a placeholder.
The real operating speed is sourced live from PCR[PSPEED] through the
phylink get_fixed_state callback, which lets the driver override the
fixed-link state at link time. The overlay is removed on teardown and on
the probe error unwind.

The driver gains a build dependency on OF_OVERLAY. In addition, the
node-less pseudo-MAC path has a runtime dependency on
CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES: that is what makes the PCI core synthesize
the per-function OF node (of_pci_make_dev_node()) that the overlay is
applied onto. This is intentionally not a hard Kconfig dependency, since
the ENETC4 driver also serves regular ports described by static DT; when
PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES is absent the PCI function has no of_node and the
pseudo-MAC probe path fails gracefully with a clear -ENODEV error.

[PATCH net-next v1 3/5] arm64: dts: s32n79: add NETC IEP18 ECAM node for ENETC PPM ports

[Claudiu Manoil]

Add the netc_iep18 PCIe ECAM host node describing the NETC integrated
endpoint bus allocated to the first Linux cohort on S32N79. The bus is
enumerated via the generic pci-host-ecam-generic driver and hosts the
ENETC v4 Pseudo-MAC (PPM) PF and its VFs, which connect internally to
the on-chip NETC switch (not owned by Linux).

The node is kept disabled at the SoC level; boards that wire up NETC
enable it. MSIs are routed through the GIC-v3 ITS and DMA is translated
by the SMMUv3 (iommu-map).
