Previously, the code would not attempt any devicetree configuration if devicetree was not configured. Now it does. The error return from device_get_phy_mode() isn't the actual problem. Apparently it doesn't really matter if a nonsensical value is assigned to phy_interface. The problem is that the reg-io-width property is obviously not present in the non-dt and non-acpi case. This overwrites the existing platform data configuration and selects 16 bit mode, to which the (simulated) hardware obviously reacts less than enthusiastic. Fixing this properly won't be easy. If the "reg-io-width" property is not present or wrong, the default register width is 16 bit. Obviously, if neither DT nor ACPI is available, it won't be present. This causes the crash I had observed. Bad part is that there does not seem to be a reliable means to detect that platform data should be used in that situation. Other device_get_XXX functions return -ENXIO if that happens, but not device_property_read_u32(). It is _supposed_ to return it per its API, but it doesn't (it returns -ENODATA). We may need two separate patches, one to fix up device_property_read_u32() to return -ENXIO, and one to fix smsc911x_probe_config() to ignore the error from device_get_phy_mode(), and to bail out if device_property_read_u32() returns -ENXIO. The simpler alternative would be to check the return value from device_property_read_u32() for both -ENXIO and -ENODATA. This would make the code independent of the necessary core changes (which may take a while). I tested this variant, and it works, at least for the non-DT case. Does this make sense ? Thanks, Guenter
