Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/4] net: dsa: mxl862xx: support firmware update
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 01:50:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1783988826.git.daniel@makrotopia.org> (raw)

The firmware of MxL862xx managed Ethernet switches can be updated
in-system via the same MDIO bus which is also used to manage the
switch. Wire up the devlink flash_update operation for DSA drivers
and implement firmware update and version reporting in the mxl862xx
driver.

Changes since RFC [1]:
 - detect a switch stuck in MCUboot rescue mode at probe, register
   the switch without any ports and report "mcuboot-rescue" as the
   running firmware version, so devlink flash can recover from a
   failed or interrupted update (Andrew Lunn)
 - clarify in the commit message of patch 2 that the per-transaction
   MDIO bus locking is about other, non-switch devices on the same
   MDIO bus (Andrew Lunn)
 - mention in the commit message of patch 3 that closing the ports
   also stops phylib from polling the switch-internal PHYs during
   the transfer (Andrew Lunn)
 - split up run-on sentence and explain the dynamically allocated
   reprobe work item instead of just pointing at iwlwifi in the
   commit message of patch 3 (Manuel Ebner)
 - use kzalloc_obj() (Manuel Ebner)
 - state the actual duration of a complete flash and reprobe cycle
   (just under a minute) in comments and the commit message, and
   clarify that the timeout values are generous upper bounds
   (Manuel Ebner)
