EyeQ5 SoCs integrate two GEM instances. A system-controller register
region named "OLB" has some control over the Ethernet PHY integration.

Past iterations [0] touched those syscon registers directly from MACB.
It was a bad idea. Extend the current OLB ecosystem with a new generic
PHY driver.
 - OLB is carried by one main platform driver: clk-eyeq.
 - It instantiates auxiliary devices: reset-eyeq & pinctrl-eyeq5.
 - We add a new one: phy-eyeq5-eth.

Here is a DT overview:

   olb: system-controller@e00000 {
           compatible = "mobileye,eyeq5-olb", "syscon";
           reg = <0 0xe00000 0x0 0x400>;
           // ...
           #reset-cells = <2>;
           #clock-cells = <1>;
           #phy-cells = <1>; // <= this is new
   };

   macb0: ethernet@2a00000 {
           compatible = "mobileye,eyeq5-gem";
           phys = <&olb 0>; // <= GEM device consumes the PHY
           // ...
   };

   macb1: ethernet@2b00000 {
           compatible = "mobileye,eyeq5-gem";
           phys = <&olb 1>; // <= same thing for the second instance
           // ...
   };

The Linux MACB driver already consumes a generic PHY for some other
compatibles, this is nothing new.

See here [1] for the net-next series that adds the compatible to MACB.
Yesterday, those patches were sent alongside the MACB changes [2].
Net maintainers prefer to only see net code so today they are split.

One topic to talk about: the whole "we must assign child->of_node
manually". Auxiliary driver core does not do it automatically, so
either the parent (clk-eyeq) or the children must do it.

In OLB land, until now, children were doing it with a
device_set_of_node_from_dev(dev, dev->parent) call in probe.

Recently, Jerome Brunet added devm_auxiliary_device_create():
eaa0d30216c1 ("driver core: auxiliary bus: add device creation
helpers"). Using that cleans up clk-eyeq but means we must remove
device_set_of_node_from_dev() from reset-eyeq in the same patch series,
as the helpers do the dev->of_node assignement from the parent driver.

That explains why the ideal patch:
[PATCH 4/7] clk: eyeq: add EyeQ5 children auxiliary device for generic PHYs
Turned into those three:
[PATCH 3/7] clk: eyeq: use the auxiliary device creation helper
[PATCH 4/7] clk: eyeq: add EyeQ5 children auxiliary device for generic PHYs
[PATCH 5/7] reset: eyeq: drop device_set_of_node_from_dev() done by parent

About merging, it'll probably be complex. I see no build dependencies,
but the board will be in an odd state if only some patches are applied.
Some dev_warn() at boot and dev->of_node refcounting issues at unload.

 - [PATCH 1/7] dt-bindings: soc: mobileye: OLB is an Ethernet PHY provider on EyeQ5
   We touch dt-bindings because OLB becomes a PHY provider.
   => linux-mips (?)

 - [PATCH 2/7] phy: Add driver for EyeQ5 Ethernet PHY wrapper
   We add the generic PHY driver in drivers/phy/phy-eyeq5-eth.c with the
   usual Kconfig, Makefile and MAINTAINERS changes.
   => linux-phy (?)

 - [PATCH 6/7] MIPS: mobileye: eyeq5: add two Cadence GEM Ethernet controllers
   [PATCH 7/7] MIPS: mobileye: eyeq5-epm: add two Cadence GEM Ethernet PHYs
   DTS patches to add both the #phy-cells of OLB and the MACB instances.
   => linux-mips

 - [PATCH 4/7] clk: eyeq: add EyeQ5 children auxiliary device for generic PHYs
   We must update clk-eyeq because it instantiates a new auxdev.
   => linux-clk

 - [PATCH 3/7] clk: eyeq: use the auxiliary device creation helper
   [PATCH 5/7] reset: eyeq: drop device_set_of_node_from_dev() done by parent
   With the dev->of_node assignement, we must also correct reset-eyeq.
   => separate them into linux-clk and linux-reset?

Have a nice day,
Thanks,
Théo

Changes since MACB V1:
- Drop the old "mobileye,olb" properties from DT patches; found while
  running dtbs_check and dt_binding_check.
- Drop all patches targeting net-next. That is MACB dt-bindings patch
  and MACB driver code. See there here [1].
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251021-macb-eyeq5-v1-0-3b0b5a9d2f85@bootlin.com/

Past versions of MACB patches:
 - March 2025: [PATCH net-next 00/13] Support the Cadence MACB/GEM
   instances on Mobileye EyeQ5 SoCs
   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250321-macb-v1-0-537b7e37971d@bootlin.com/
 - June 2025: [PATCH net-next v2 00/18] Support the Cadence MACB/GEM
   instances on Mobileye EyeQ5 SoCs
   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250627-macb-v2-0-ff8207d0bb77@bootlin.com/
 - August 2025: [PATCH net v3 00/16] net: macb: various fixes & cleanup
   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250808-macb-fixes-v3-0-08f1fcb5179f@bootlin.com/
