Previous set "New Generic PHY driver for Lynx 10G SerDes":
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-phy/20260610151952.2141019-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/
introduced the 10G Lynx SerDes driver with a reduced functionality set.
Namely, only minor protocol changes are supported (1GbE <-> 2.5GbE).
The major protocol changes need a procedure named RCW override,
explained in more detail in commits 6/8 and 7/8.

This series adds kernel and device tree binding support for RCW
override, completing the SerDes PHY driver functionality.

Two components are involved:
- drivers/soc/fsl/guts.c (binding is fsl,layerscape-dcfg.yaml) - Device
  Configuration Unit, this is API provider for the SerDes driver to
  request RCW override depending on SoC
- drivers/phy/freescale/phy-fsl-lynx-10g.c - SerDes PHY driver, this is
  API consumer

The guts driver probes on DCFG blocks from multiple Freescale SoC
generations:
- MPC85xx, BSC and QorIQ (PowerPC) are all covered by the
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/fsl/guts.txt schema
- Layerscape (Arm) is covered by
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/fsl/fsl,layerscape-dcfg.yaml

It is ultimately the same hardware block, just that (from what I can
tell) the Layerscape nodes are also compatible with syscon, and PowerPC
aren't.

RCW override has only been validated on select Layerscape SoCs, so
converting guts.txt to a PowerPC schema is out of scope for this
series - we don't even touch that (just in case it gets asked).

Using syscon to map the DCFG_DCSR register block in the Lynx SerDes
driver instead of creating this guts <-> lynx API was considered, but
because the RCW procedure is SoC-specific, it was ruled out for
polluting the SerDes driver. The guts driver is all about SoC awareness
anyway, and it offers some abstraction of all the gory details.

Changes since v2:
- fix error handling in fsl_guts_init() and make sure that all newly
  introduced RCW override API functions fail if fsl_guts_init() failed.
- replace __bf_shf() use with __ffs()
- use read_poll_timeout_atomic() in fsl_guts_rcw_rmw() to clarify that
  DCFG_DCSR writes are supposed to reflect back in DCFG_CCSR
- only operate on lanes on which fsl_guts_lane_init() was called in
  ls2088a_serdes_init_rcwcr()
- put parentheses around (lane) in LS1088A_RCWSR29_SRDS_PRTCL_S1_LNn()
  and LS1088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_PRTCL_S2_LNn() macro expressions

v2 at:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-phy/20260612210859.266759-8-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

Changes since v1:
- add Conor's review tag on 6/8
- update email addresses of DT maintainers
- drop DT maintainers from explicit CC on patch 7/8
- keep devicetree@vger.kernel.org CCed on entire series
- include missing <linux/bitfield.h> in patch 7/8
- namespace SRDS_PRTCL values for LS1046A and LS1088A, even if they are
  the same. For LS1028A (not covered here) they are not.
- prefix SRDS_CLK_SEL_{GMII,XGMII} with LS2088A_
- reorder alphanumerically (LS1046A should come before LS1088A)

Change logs also in individual patches.

From: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com>

Instead of using a hardcoded value when iomapping the DCFG CCSR space,
add a new macro for it. The code will be easier to follow this way,
especially when we add support for the DCFG DCSR space as well.

Add the fsl_soc_guts structure in order to pass information like base
addresses, endianness etc between the init time and the runtime
operations (RCW override) which will get added in future patches.
There is no point in mapping and unmapping the DCFG CCSR space every
time we need to make a read, just map it once and keep its reference in
this new global struture.

Add a central fsl_guts_read() function which will take into account the
endianness that was already determined. No point is duplicating the
if-else statement each time we need to read a DCFG register.

From: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com>

The guts driver will need to easily determine on which SoC it's running
when it will need to perform RCW override at runtime. The guts driver
knows this already because fsl_guts_init() reads the QorIQ/Layerscape
architectural System Version Register (SVR), but it doesn't save this
for later lookups.

Add a new qoriq_die enum to be used as an index in the fsl_soc_die
array. A new fsl_soc_die_match_one() function is also added so that we
can directly determine if the SVR is a match with a specific die.
The SVR value read from the DCFG CCSR is also kept in the global soc
structure so that it can be accessed when needed.

In a future change, struct fsl_soc_data will be extended with methods
for performing RCW override.

Since this will be performed from a calling context outside
fsl_guts_init(), we need to keep track of the soc_data that we determine
at fsl_guts_init() time, so we can reference it later.

In Layerscape (Arm) and QorIQ (PowerPC) devices, hardware peripherals
are accessed by the CPU through a portion of the SoC address space
called CCSR ("Configuration, Control, and Status Registers"). All
hardware IP blocks have their registers mapped here, and the Device
Configuration block makes no exception.

However, there exists a secondary range of the address space named DCSR
("Debug Control and Status Registers") which, like CCSR, also holds
registers of hardware IP blocks, except the DCSR contents is hidden in
all public reference manuals.

The intention of the CCSR/DCSR split, to the best of my knowledge, was
to place the functionality that is too low level for normal use, and
which is necessary only for debug, in a completely separate address
space which can be hidden.

A use case has appeared where networking SerDes lanes need to be
reconfigured at runtime for a different protocol (example: 10GBase-R to
SGMII), and the architecture of the SoCs does not normally permit that.
The Reset Configuration Word (RCW) is a data structure read by the SoC
preboot loader (PBL) which contains stuff like pinmuxing and SerDes
protocol mapping for each lane.

The RCW that the PBL has loaded is visible in the DCFG block's normal
status registers (from CCSR), as read only. Turns out, the RCW is also
mapped in the DCFG's shadow register map (in DCSR), in a write-only
form. Writing to the RCW registers from the DCFG's DCSR space to change
what the PBL has loaded is called "RCW override".

It has been validated that the RCW override procedure is necessary to
reconfigure the networking data path when a SerDes lane performs a major
protocol change. It changes some internal muxes which connect the PCS to
either the 10G MAC or to the 1G MAC.

Defining the DCSR area of the DCFG as a secondary 'reg' array element
allows operating systems to perform RCW overrides. Since it is
introduced late in the binding's lifetime, it is optional. It can be
identified by name, but also by index (first 'reg' is CCSR).

Note that while all SoCs should have a DCFG register block in DCSR, we
only need to expose it for the SoCs where the RCW override procedure is
known to be needed and has been validated.

From: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com>

Add support for the RCW override procedure which enables runtime
reconfiguration of the protocol running on a SerDes lane. The procedure
is done through the DCFG DCSR space which now can be defined as the
second memory region of the guts DT node.
Support is added on the following SoCs: LS1046A, LS1088A, LS2088A.

The procedure is exported to the "client" driver - the Lynx10G SerDes
PHY driver - through the following functions:
- fsl_guts_lane_init() used to notify the initial / boot time lane mode
  running on a SerDes lane.
- fsl_guts_lane_validate() used to validate that changing the protocol
  on a specific lane is supported.
- fsl_guts_lane_set_mode() which can be used to request the RCW
  procedure be executed for a specific lane.

Since the RCW override procedure is different depending on the SoC, the
private fsl_soc_data structure is updated with two new per SoC callbacks
(.serdes_get_rcw_override() and .serdes_init_rcwcr()) which get used
from the generic fsl_guts_lane_set_mode() function. These two callbacks
hide all the SoC specific register offsets, masks and values so that the
_set_mode() procedure is straightforward.

v2->v3:
- move iounmap() of dcfg_dcsr area on the 'err' label
- use __ffs() (standard API which also works on armv7) instead of
  __bf_shf() (an internal helper meant for compile-time constants in
  bitfield.h)
- only operate on lanes on which fsl_guts_lane_init() was called in
  ls2088a_serdes_init_rcwcr()
- use read_poll_timeout_atomic() in fsl_guts_rcw_rmw() to clarify that
  DCFG_DCSR writes are supposed to reflect back in DCFG_CCSR
- check soc.data in fsl_guts_serdes_get_rcw_override() to ensure
  fsl_guts_init() succeeded
- put parentheses around (lane) in LS1088A_RCWSR29_SRDS_PRTCL_S1_LNn()
  and LS1088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_PRTCL_S2_LNn() macro expressions

v1->v2:
- drop DT maintainers from explicit CC
- keep devicetree@vger.kernel.org CCed on entire series
- include missing <linux/bitfield.h>
- namespace SRDS_PRTCL values for LS1046A and LS1088A, even if they are
  the same. For LS1028A (not covered here) they are not.
- prefix SRDS_CLK_SEL_{GMII,XGMII} with LS2088A_
- reorder alphanumerically (LS1046A should come before LS1088A)

Up until this patch, the only protocol change supported was between
1000Base-X/SGMII and 2500Base-X. The others require an RCW override
procedure which was lacking.

Since now the guts driver provides the means of applying this procedure,
make use of it and remove any comment which mentioned the limitation.

- [High] Dereferencing a NULL pointer during error cleanup if the initial allocation of `soc_dev_attr` fails.

--- Patch [2]: [PATCH v3 phy-next 2/8] soc: fsl: guts: add a global structure to hold state ---

Author: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com>

soc: fsl: guts: add a global structure to hold state

This commit introduces the fsl_soc_guts global structure to hold the DCFG CCSR
mapping and endianness state. It maps the memory once at initialization so it
can be reused during runtime operations instead of repeatedly mapping and
unmapping the space.

[Severity: High]
Will jumping to err_nomem cause a NULL pointer dereference?

If the allocation of soc_dev_attr fails, the code now jumps to the error
handling path which dereferences soc_dev_attr to free its members:

Since soc_dev_attr is NULL when this allocation fails, won't evaluating
soc_dev_attr->revision and other members result in a kernel panic?

soc: fsl: guts: add a central fsl_guts_read() function

This commit adds a central fsl_guts_read() function that handles reading
DCFG registers based on the already determined endianness. This avoids
duplicating the if-else endianness checks across the driver.

[Severity: High]
Does this code trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the error path if memory
allocation for soc_dev_attr fails?

In fsl_guts_init(), if the kzalloc_obj() allocation for soc_dev_attr fails
just below this block, the code jumps to err_nomem and falls through to the
err label:

fsl_guts_init() {
    ...
	soc_dev_attr = kzalloc_obj(*soc_dev_attr);
	if (!soc_dev_attr)
		goto err_nomem;
    ...
err_nomem:
	ret = -ENOMEM;
err:
	kfree(soc_dev_attr->family);
	kfree(soc_dev_attr->soc_id);
    ...
}

Since soc_dev_attr is NULL when taking this path, won't calling
kfree(soc_dev_attr->family) dereference the NULL pointer during device
initialization?

Author: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com>

soc: fsl: guts: make it easier to determine on which SoC we are running

The guts driver will need to easily determine on which SoC it's running
when it will need to perform RCW override at runtime. The guts driver
knows this already because fsl_guts_init() reads the QorIQ/Layerscape
architectural System Version Register (SVR), but it doesn't save this
for later lookups.

[Severity: High]
Does jumping to err_nomem when soc_dev_attr allocation fails cause a NULL
pointer dereference?

In an earlier commit in this series ("soc: fsl: guts: add a global structure
to hold state"), the error path in fsl_guts_init() was modified to unmap
soc.dcfg_ccsr, but it seems the cleanup assumes soc_dev_attr is valid:

fsl_guts_init()
	soc_dev_attr = kzalloc_obj(*soc_dev_attr);
	if (!soc_dev_attr)
		goto err_nomem;
    ...
err_nomem:
	ret = -ENOMEM;
err:
	kfree(soc_dev_attr->family);

If the dynamic allocation for soc_dev_attr fails, wouldn't we dereference
the NULL pointer when freeing its members in the err block?

Author: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>

dt-bindings: fsl: layerscape-dcfg: define DCFG_DCSR region

This commit defines a secondary "reg" array element in the DCFG binding
for the hidden DCSR register space. Exposing this area permits operating
systems to perform Reset Configuration Word (RCW) overrides, enabling
runtime reconfiguration of networking SerDes lanes.

[Severity: High]
Does the error path in fsl_guts_init() cause a NULL pointer dereference?

drivers/soc/fsl/guts.c:fsl_guts_init() {
    ...
	soc.dcfg_ccsr = of_iomap(np, DCFG_CCSR);
	if (!soc.dcfg_ccsr) {
		of_node_put(np);
		goto err_nomem;
	}
    ...
err_nomem:
	ret = -ENOMEM;
err:
	kfree(soc_dev_attr->family);
	kfree(soc_dev_attr->soc_id);
    ...
}

If of_iomap() or the allocation for soc_dev_attr fails in fsl_guts_init(),
the error handling path jumps to err_nomem while soc_dev_attr is still NULL.

The cleanup code at the err label unconditionally evaluates
soc_dev_attr->family and soc_dev_attr->soc_id before passing them to
kfree(). Reading these fields dereferences the NULL soc_dev_attr pointer,
which can cause an immediate page fault during initialization.

[Severity: High]
If of_iomap() fails here, the code executes a goto to the error path while
soc_dev_attr is still explicitly NULL. 

Down in the error cleanup path, the code unconditionally dereferences 
soc_dev_attr to retrieve its members:

Will this trigger a NULL pointer dereference?

While kfree() itself handles NULL pointers gracefully, evaluating
soc_dev_attr->revision and soc_dev_attr->serial_number requires reading
memory from the NULL soc_dev_attr pointer before passing the argument to
kfree().

yeah.

I tried to be nice and play with the existing "err_nomem" and "err"
error handling labels, but the truth is that a single error cleanup path
is just an antipattern that doesn't scale as code becomes more complex.

Instead of having a single error handling procedure which needs to
carefully fend off from various invalid contexts from all the goto
sites, the standard convention is to have an incremental set of labels
which undo just the setup that was done up to the goto jump site.

I'll refactor fsl_guts_init() to use that convention for v4.

It exports functions to notify boot time modes, validate protocol changes,
and execute the RCW procedure on specific SoCs.

[Severity: Medium]
Is a 1 microsecond timeout sufficient for cross-domain hardware reflections?

The atomic polling loop strictly uses RCW_TIMEOUT_US set to 1, which might be
too brief for the hardware to propagate the state across clock domains. This
could lead to spurious -ETIMEDOUT failures when configuring SerDes lane modes.

[Severity: High]
Does this bounds check incorrectly reject the highest valid SerDes index?

If soc_data->num_serdes is 2, a client driver attempting to initialize
serdes_idx 2 will trigger this return path because 2 >= 2 evaluates to true.
Should this use > instead of >= to allow configuring the last SerDes block?

> +
> +	if (lane >= MAX_NUM_LANES || lane < 0)
> +		return -ERANGE;

[Severity: High]
Can this loose bounds check lead to undefined behavior in the SoC-specific
macros?

MAX_NUM_LANES is 8, but macros like LS1088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_PRTCL_S2_LNn
assume a maximum of 4 lanes:

GENMASK(3 + 4 * (3 - (lane)), 4 * (3 - (lane)))

If a PHY driver requests a lane index of 4 or higher on LS1088A, this macro
evaluates to GENMASK(-1, -4), which causes negative bitwise shifts.

[Severity: Medium]
Could concurrent PHY probes cause lost lane initialization status here?

This performs a non-atomic read-modify-write on the shared global state array
without holding a lock. If two PHY instances on the same SerDes controller
probe asynchronously, one update to soc.lanes_initialized might overwrite the
other.

[Severity: High]
Does this bulk RCW override initialization clobber active configurations on
uninitialized lanes?

If a client driver for lane A calls fsl_guts_lane_set_mode() before sibling
lane B has initialized, this read-modify-write uses a mask spanning all
lanes (LS2088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_CLK_SEL_MSK). This forcefully writes zeroes
to lane B's configuration because it relies purely on the software state
in soc.lanes_initialized, potentially discarding its bootloader-configured
active state.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but can dereferencing soc_dev_attr here cause
a kernel panic on the error path?

If earlier initialization steps fail, such as of_iomap() failing and jumping
to err_nomem before soc_dev_attr is allocated, soc_dev_attr will remain NULL.
The unconditional access to member variables like soc_dev_attr->family will
result in a NULL pointer dereference.

phy: lynx-10g: use RCW override procedure for dynamic protocol change

Up until this patch, the only protocol change supported was between
1000Base-X/SGMII and 2500Base-X. The others require an RCW override
procedure which was lacking.

Since now the guts driver provides the means of applying this procedure,
make use of it and remove any comment which mentioned the limitation.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the underlying RCW override
procedure contain an off-by-one error that rejects the final SerDes block?

When this calls into fsl_guts_lane_set_mode(), it eventually hits a bounds
check in fsl_guts_serdes_get_rcw_override():

drivers/soc/fsl/guts.c:fsl_guts_serdes_get_rcw_override() {
    ...
    if (serdes_idx >= soc_data->num_serdes || serdes_idx <= 0)
        return -ERANGE;
    ...
}

Since serdes_idx is 1-based, and this uses >= instead of >, won't this
completely fail to apply the dynamic protocol change for any interface on
the last SerDes block (e.g. index 2 on SoCs with 2 SerDes blocks)?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does initializing the SerDes RCW
inadvertently corrupt unmanaged lanes on LS2088A?

When fsl_guts_lane_set_mode() is called for the first time on an LS2088A SoC,
it triggers ls2088a_serdes_init_rcwcr() to build a new state for the RCW
utilizing soc.lanes_initialized:

drivers/soc/fsl/guts.c:ls2088a_serdes_init_rcwcr() {
    ...
    for_each_set_bit(i, &soc.lanes_initialized[serdes_idx - 1], MAX_NUM_LANES)
        if (lynx_lane_mode_uses_xgmii_mac(soc.lane_mode[serdes_idx - 1][i]))
            reg |= LS2088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_CLK_SEL_XGMII_Ln_S1(i);

    err = fsl_guts_rcw_rmw(29, reg,
                   LS2088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_CLK_EN_SEL_XGMII_S1 |
                   LS2088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_CLK_SEL_MSK);
    ...
}

Because the blanket mask LS2088A_RCWSR30_SRDS_CLK_SEL_MSK clears the bits
for all 8 lanes but only restores them for explicitly managed lanes, won't
unmanaged lanes (such as those used by DPDK or alternative firmware) have
their hardware protocol selection forced to 0 (GMII), potentially breaking
network connectivity?

While I was doing this refactoring, I noticed that this code path:

	if (soc_data)
		soc_uid = fsl_guts_get_soc_uid(soc_data->sfp_compat,
					       soc_data->uid_offset);
	if (soc_uid) {
		soc_dev_attr->serial_number = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%016llX",
							soc_uid);
		// no kasprintf() NULL return code check here, unlike
		// the rest of the code
	}

	soc_dev = soc_device_register(soc_dev_attr);
	if (IS_ERR(soc_dev)) {
		ret = PTR_ERR(soc_dev);
		goto err;
	}

proceeds with soc_device_register() even if fsl_guts_get_soc_uid() was
able to get a soc unique id from the security fuse processor, but we
fail to print that string to the soc_dev_attr->serial_number variable.

I don't see anywhere mentioned in commit 786dde1e59d7 ("soc: fsl: guts:
add serial_number support") that this would be intentional, so it can
just as well be an omission.

Is it OK if I replace the silent failure with a loud failure of the
entire fsl_guts_init()? The code executes only if soc_uid is non-zero
anyway.

kasprintf() fails only for memory related reasons.

lgtm, is there any dependency. If not I can pick it

There is no other direct dependency, but I need to send a v4 tomorrow
due to some valid Sashiko comments.

There is also this patch which seems to have been forgotten:

It's a long time ago, but it seems to be designed be optional. In
that case a NULL pointer check was omitted, because nothing bad can
happen anyway. Either you'll free the string if != NULL or you don't
free anything.

I don't have a strong opinion. If you ever get that error, something
is seriously bad anyway.

Thanks for responding.

I think the optionality is already taken care of by the "if (soc_uid)" check.
My intuition is that if the guts driver decides to try and populate the
soc_dev_attr->serial_number attribute, it should try and run this to
completion.
