Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 00/10] net: pcs: add basic support for RK3568 XPCS
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 23:01:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901150111.141037-1-coiaprant@gmail.com> (raw)
This series adds proper SGMII support for the Rockchip RK3568 SoC
using the integrated Synopsys DesignWare XPCS, along with necessary
fixes and refactoring in the stmmac core and XPCS driver.
Motivation
==========
The RK3568 integrates a DW XPCS accessed via APB3 and connected to
a Naneng Combo SerDes PHY. Several boards (e.g., Ariaboard
Photonicat) use this interface for Gigabit Ethernet. However, the
current upstream stmmac driver does not support this configuration,
and the XPCS driver has issues in SGMII poll mode that cause the
link to be reported incorrectly.
This series addresses these issues by:
- Refactoring stmmac PCS lifetime management to allow platform drivers
full control over PCS creation/destruction
- Fixing the XPCS driver's SGMII link recovery
- Adding a Rockchip XPCS platform glue driver and wiring it up in
dwmac-rk
Series overview
===============
Generic:
Patch 1: move XPCS lifetime management to platform drivers
PHY:
Patch 2: DT binding for Naneng Combo PHY SGMII MAC selection
Patch 3: implement the PHY SGMII MAC selection in driver
RK3568 XPCS/SGMII:
Patch 4: DT binding for Rockchip RK3568 XPCS
Patch 5: add XPCS and fixed-clock nodes to rk3568.dtsi
Patch 6: add ANRESTART support for SGMII link recovery
Patch 7: implement the Rockchip XPCS platform glue driver
Patch 8: wire up SGMII support in dwmac-rk
Patch 10: update MAINTAINERS
Board enablement:
Patch 9: enable SGMII LAN port on Photonicat board
Changelog
=========
Changes since v2:
Patch 4 (DT binding for Rockchip RK3568 XPCS)
- Made phys, phy-names, power-domains required properties
- Removed redundant descriptions
- Fixes reg ranges requirements for MII port
Patch 7 (net: pcs: xpcs: add Rockchip RK3568 platform glue driver)
- Removed `depends on PM || COMPILE_TEST` from Kconfig,
ARCH_ROCKCHIP already selects PM.
- Added `default ARCH_ROCKCHIP` in Kconfig
- Added comment in xpcs_rk_serdes_phy_poweron() and xpcs_rk_remove()
- Added device_lock()/device_unlock() around platform_get_drvdata()
in xpcs_rk_create() to prevent concurrent drvdata access
- Added error handling for device_link_add() failure
- Switched from SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS to DEFINE_RUNTIME_DEV_PM_OPS
- Changed .pm from direct pointer to pm_ptr() for proper PM handling
Patch 9 (arm64: dts: rockchip: rk3568-photonicat)
- Changed PHY compatible from "ethernet-phy-id0000.011a" to
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" (generic C22 PHY)
- Removed eee-broken-* properties (unused properties)
Key design decisions
====================
- The stmmac core now delegates XPCS creation entirely to platform
drivers via pcs_init/pcs_exit. This is necessary because the
generic XPCS creation logic would override any XPCS set up by the
platform driver.
- The Rockchip XPCS driver creates a virtual MDIO bus over the APB3
registers and implements address remapping. The generic XPCS core
handles all PCS configuration via phylink_pcs_ops.
- On RK3568 in SGMII mode, the MAC clock is fixed at 125 MHz and
cannot be dynamically changed. In-band mode is used, and the
generic stmmac set_clk_tx_rate callback is disabled to prevent
incorrect clock updates that would break RX.
- The SerDes and power domain are attached to the XPCS device tree
node rather than the MAC node. This reflects the actual hardware
topology and simplifies the dwmac-rk driver by keeping all PCS-related
resources self-contained. It also prepares for possible future QSGMII
support, where a single SerDes serves multiple MACs and would be
more naturally managed under the XPCS node.
Testing
=======
Board: Ariaboard Photonicat (RK3568)
OS: Armbian (trixie)
Kernel: 6.18 (backports)
Result: The SGMII interface obtains an IP address, SSH works, and
ping traffic passes without loss.
Notes
=====
- When testing out-band mode with set_clk_tx_rate, only 1000Mbps
works on both TX/RX; 10/100Mbps only works on TX side.
Dependencies
============
None. All patches apply cleanly on top of torvalds master tree (v7.3).
Acknowledgments
===============
This work was inspired by and builds upon the excellent work of others:
- Serge Semin's Synopsys DesignWare XPCS platform driver (pcs-xpcs-plat.c)
- Clément Léger's Renesas MIIC driver (pcs-rzn1-miic.c)
- The Rockchip TRM and downstream OEM drivers
Thanks in advance,
