Re: [PATCH v4 net-next 5/5] net: pcs: pcs-mtk-lynxi: deprecate "mediatek,pnswap"

Hi,

looks like this patch breaks BPI-R3 serdes between mt7986 SoC and mt7531 switch in 7.0 (6.19 is ok).
in ethtool i see only tx on mac but no rx. if i revert this patch i can ping through dsa-ports again.

i did not completely understanding the code with the default-pol as it is now splitted between rx and tx.

mt7986 and this board does not have mediatek,pnswap set, so the final regmap_update_bits writes val=0,
before there was only write to this register on invert mode...but i guess this should not break. Maybe some
kind of timing issue between mac and switch?

maybe reverting this patch skips changes made here:
bde1ae2d52ab 2026-01-19 net: pcs: pcs-mtk-lynxi: pass SGMIISYS OF node to PCS

I resend as last try was sending as html (option "always send as text" in webmailer seems to be ignored
somehow, had to choose "unformatted" in this response too).

regards Frank
