Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 01/12] dt-bindings: phy: Add NXP S32G SerDes subsystem
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 08:54:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919-s32g_serdes-v3-1-9d68868c1e89@oss.nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919-s32g_serdes-v3-0-9d68868c1e89@oss.nxp.com>

From: "Jan Petrous (OSS)" <jan.petrous@oss.nxp.com>

The S32G SerDes subsystem multiplexes two lanes between a PCIe PHY and
two DesignWare XPCS instances. Describe it with one node per SerDes and
one child node per lane.

Compared to the previous revision, the vendor nxp,sys-mode property is
removed: the SS_RW_REG_0[SUBSYS_MODE] value is fully derivable from the
child-node lane mux and the XPCS instance routing (nxp,xpcs-instance).
Each working mode described here has a unique lane mux, so the mode is
a pure function of the child nodes. The reference-clock rate is
validated against the derived mode; it is not used to select it.

The 3.125 Gbit/s working modes are deliberately not described yet.
Distinguishing them from the 1.25 Gbit/s dual-XPCS mode requires a
per-lane 2500BASE-X capability that this binding does not express, and
the reference clock does not distinguish them either - both accept 100
or 125 MHz. They are added by the 2500BASE-X follow-up.

Only the PCIe lane child gets '#phy-cells'. An XPCS lane is not a
generic PHY provider; the Ethernet controller references it through the
standard pcs-handle property instead.

S32G2 and S32G3 use distinct compatibles without fallback because the
full reference-manual mode tables differ per SoC and per SerDes
instance.

+description: |
+  The SerDes subsystem multiplexes two SerDes lanes between one PCIe
+  controller PHY and two Synopsys DesignWare XPCS (Ethernet PCS) instances,
+  behind a shared 2-lane combo PHY. The active routing is selected by the
+  SS_RW_REG_0[SUBSYS_MODE] field.
+
+  Reference-manual working modes described by this binding:
+
+  Mode  Lane0   Lane1   PHY refclk (MHz)  Description
+  ------------------------------------------------------------
+  0     PCIe    PCIe    100               PCIe x2
+  1     PCIe    XPCS0   100               PCIe x1 + SGMII
+  2     PCIe    XPCS1   100               PCIe x1 + SGMII
+  3     XPCS0   XPCS1   100 or 125        dual SGMII, 1.25 Gbit/s
+
+  Which Ethernet MAC an XPCS instance feeds is fixed by the SoC integration
+  and differs per SoC and per SerDes instance - on S32G3 SerDes_0, XPCS0
+  feeds GMAC0 and XPCS1 feeds PFE_MAC2, while on SerDes_1 the same two
+  instances feed PFE_MAC0 and PFE_MAC1. That mapping is a property of the
+  SoC, not of this binding, and is resolved by the driver.
+
+  The 3.125 Gbit/s working modes are not described here yet. Distinguishing
+  them from mode 3 requires a per-lane 2500BASE-X capability, which this
+  binding does not express; the reference clock does not distinguish them
+  either, as both accept 100 or 125 MHz. They are added by a follow-up.
+
+  SUBSYS_MODE is not encoded in the devicetree. It is derived at probe from
+  information already present in standard form:
+    - the lane mux, from the per-lane child nodes below;
+    - the XPCS instance a lane feeds, from nxp,xpcs-instance (this is what
+      distinguishes modes 1 and 2).
+  Each mode above has a unique lane mux, so the mode is a pure function of
+  the child nodes. The reference-clock rate is validated against the
+  derived mode; it is never used to select it.
+
+  Both lanes must always be described, even a lane the board does not wire
+  out to a connector. The lane mux is a property of the hardware
+  SUBSYS_MODE, not of the board routing: in mode 1, for example, the
+  subsystem internally routes lane 1 to XPCS0 whether or not the board
+  connects that lane to anything. The child nodes describe that fixed
+  hardware mux, so both must be present; omitting a lane leaves the mode
+  underivable and the probe fails with -EINVAL. Which of those lanes is
+  actually used by a given board is expressed elsewhere (the consumer's
+  phys / pcs-handle reference), not by leaving the lane out here.
+
+  The full reference-manual mode tables differ per SoC, which is why S32G2
+  and S32G3 use distinct compatibles without a fallback between them.
+
+  They also differ between the two SerDes instances of one SoC, so each
+  instance additionally carries a compatible naming it, with the per-SoC
+  string as fallback:
+
+    serdes0: compatible = "nxp,s32g3-serdes0", "nxp,s32g3-serdes";
+    serdes1: compatible = "nxp,s32g3-serdes1", "nxp,s32g3-serdes";
+
+  For the modes described here the two instances behave identically and a
+  driver need only match the fallback. They diverge outside this scope:
+  on S32G3 the 3.125 Gbit/s dual-XPCS mode 4 exists on SerDes_1 only, and
+  on S32G2 only SerDes_1 reaches 3.125 Gbit/s at all. Recording the
+  instance now means the follow-up that adds those modes is purely
+  additive - it matches the specific strings and needs no devicetree
+  change.
+
+  The same mechanism covers SoCs whose instances differ in kind rather
+  than in degree: on S32R47 one SerDes has no PCIe controller at all, so
+  its compatible must be distinguishable in order to reject a PCIe lane
+  child in schema rather than at probe time.
