Subject: [QUESTION] staging: octeon: is the FIXME in cvm_oct_sgmii_init stale?
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 18:07:43 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617210743.1825733-1-danpablo@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Greg,

While looking at drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet-sgmii.c I noticed
a FIXME comment in cvm_oct_sgmii_init():

    cvm_oct_common_init(dev);
    /* FIXME: Need autoneg logic */
    return 0;

After tracing the code, I believe autoneg is already handled when
the interface is opened:

  cvm_oct_sgmii_open()
      -> cvm_oct_common_open()
          -> cvm_oct_phy_setup_device()
              -> phy_start()
                  -> phy_state_machine()
                      -> _phy_start_aneg()
                          -> genphy_config_aneg()

Is my analysis correct? If so, should I send a patch to remove
the stale FIXME comment?

Thanks,
Pablo D. Bergamasco
