Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 12/12] arm64: dts: s32g: Add S32G3-RDB3 SerDes routing variants
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 08:54:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919-s32g_serdes-v3-12-9d68868c1e89@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 S32G3-VNP-RDB3 board wires GMAC0 to an on-board KSZ9031 RGMII PHY by
default. Add two device tree variants that reroute GMAC0 over the
SerDes_0 XPCS lane for SGMII, matching the two SerDes lane layouts:
- Mode 1: PCIe x1 root complex on lane 0 plus 1G SGMII via GMAC0
(XPCS0) on lane 1.
- Mode 3: dual SGMII, GMAC0 (XPCS0) on lane 0 and PFE_EMAC_2 (XPCS1)
on lane 1.
The SerDes SUBSYS_MODE is derived from the lane child nodes present, so
each layout requires its own board device tree. The Mode 1 variant
enables both PCIe root complexes and extends their root ports by label
(pcie0_rp, pcie1_rp), matching the RDB3 wiring: PCIe_0 reaches the M.2
slots when board switch SW17-2 is ON, PCIe_1 the PCIe card slot.
The GMAC references its PCS with the standard pcs-handle property. On
this board the SGMII lane runs back-to-back to the on-board SJA1110
switch, so there is no PHY on the segment and nothing for phy-handle to
point at - the link partner is a switch port. The MAC-side link is
therefore described as a fixed 1G link and phylink uses out-of-band
negotiation. The SJA1110 itself is not described by these overlays.
Verified on the board:
- Mode 3: GMAC0 links at 1G and passes traffic.
- Mode 1: GMAC0 SGMII path up, and both PCIe root complexes come up -
PCIe_1 enumerates the card-slot NIC and passes traffic at full line
rate, PCIe_0 enumerates the M.2 slot with SW17-2 ON.
