The Realtek Otto switch platform consists of four different series
- RTL838x aka maple : 28 port 1G Switches
- RTL839x aka cypress : 52 port 1G Switches
- RTL930x aka longan : 28 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches
- RTL931x aka mango : 56 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches
While the MDIO hardware polling unit and its necessity for the MAC
layer was always well known, no detailed documentation was available.
For this series the MDIO bus was inspected with a logic analyzer for
a better understanding how polling and kernel access interact on the
bus. All this will be explained now in the driver comments.
This patch series adds support for the RTL83xx devices. For this
- Enhance device tree binding.
- Add special handling for limitations enforced by hardware polling.
These already have minor side effects on RTL93xx devices but are even
more critical for the RTL83xx hardware.
- Add RTL83xx coding.

v1 -> v2:
- The polling activation logic was refactored. V1 simply activated
polling after bus probing. Now a dedicated phydev/bus callback
takes care of this and also handles deferred PHY probing. (Sashiko)
- Run MMD prefix helper before register 31 (aka Realtek page register)
handling. (Jakub's bot)
- Always run MMD postfix - even if the c22 register access fails. This
ensures that the MMD state machine stays consistent. Adapt the error
handling inside the postfix function to not overwrite the real MDIO
return code (Sashiko, Jakub's bot)
- Drop unused RTL8390_PHY_CTRL_PARK_PAGE define. Like on RTL931x this
field must not be set and thus can be ignored. (Sashiko)
- Change title in device tree documentation. Because of this do NOT
add the Reviewed-by of Krzysztof. (Jakub's bot)
- Fix wrong use of RTL839x in commit message of patch "c45 over c22
mitigation". RTL930x was wrongly named RTL839x in the list of good
devices. (Markus)
- Fix typos (e.g. c22 over c45) in polling documentation (Jakub's bot)

+ * There are slight differences in polling and PHY access between the models but the challenge

+ * - PHY firmware loading can have issues. Especially if a PHY is designed to expect a clean
+ * sequence of registers and values without deviation.

The hardware polling unit of the Realtek switches has a very special
handling for PHY register 31 (aka Realtek page register) in place.
- On the RTL838x it is permanently reset to zero.
- On other devices there is some magic saving/restoring (aka parking)
in the background in place.
This makes access to PHYs a gamble.
As of now all known existing hardware designs have Realtek based 1G PHYs.
Otherwise the polling engine and the MAC status update will not work at
all and the vendor SDK would fail totally.
This driver differentiates clearly between c22 and c45 buses. During
probing it enables only one of the protocols for a bus. So it is safe
to assume that any c22 access will only target a Realtek based 1G PHY.
Intercept access to register 31 and store the desired value for each port
in the driver. When issuing access to other registers add the saved page.
This given, the hardware will run two consecutive c22 commands that are
not interrupted by polling.
... hardware poll ...
phy_write(phy, 31, page)
phy_write(phy, reg, value)
... hardware poll ...
Remark! To keep this simple, writes to register 31 are only accepted
if they are lower than the device specific raw page - 0..4094/8190.
Otherwise -EINVAL is returned. Under the above assumption (Only 1G
Realtek PHYs on c22 bus) this is no limitation.

Some MDIO buses require to program PHY polling registers depending on
the PHY type. RealTek switch SoCs are the most prominent example of a
DSA switch which doesn't allow to program MAC speed, duplex and
flow-control settings without using PHY polling to do so [1].
Avoid a half-baked solution in the MDIO bus driver because
- it must reinvent the bus scanning to determine the PHYs and
- it must anticipate the right point in time (e.g. deferred PHYs).
Hence there is a need to inform the MDIO bus driver that a PHY is
being attached or detached. Provide two simple hooks in struct
mii_bus which are called
- right after a PHY has been attached
- just before the PHY is going to be detached
Remark! A slightly different version of this patch was part of a
former series [2]. The discussion already showed that an initialization
hook should be placed somewhere late during the whole setup. This
commit implants it right after phy_init_hw() as suggested. On top of
this it adds the detach hook.

During PHY probing and configuration complex configuration sequences
might be issued and firmware might be loaded. Hardware polling can
interfere badly with that. E.g. a hardware polling MMD c45 over c22
request might break an ongoing firmware loading sequence.
To avoid such issues the polling of the Realtek Otto switches can be
(de)activated with one or two 32 bit mask registers. Each bit enables
(=1) or disables (=0) the polling of the corresponding port. Make use
of this as follows:
- Disable polling for all ports when the MDIO driver starts.
- Reenable polling just after the PHY has been attached.
- Disable polling just before the PHY is being detached.
The different devices will need an individual polling setup. For
this provide two callbacks that will be used later for coding
similar to [1] or [2].
- init_polling(): After polling has been disabled during probing.
- tune_polling(): Before polling gets reactivated for one PHY.
This synchronizes the kernel and hardware polling to some extent.
It gracefully handles deferred probing of PHYs in case the driver
is loaded asynchronously during boot. Additionally it brings the
hardware polling into a consistent operation mode for devices
where U-Boot does not take care.

When reading the PHY state on c22 based buses the hardware polling unit
reads the EEE status with a sequence similar to this:
...
phy_write(phy, 31, 0x0);
phy_write(phy, 13, 0x7); /* c45 over c22 MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV */
phy_write(phy, 14, 0x3c);
phy_write(phy, 13, 0x8007);
phy_read(phy, 14);
phy_write(phy, 13, 0x7); /* c45 over c22 MDIO_AN_EEE_LPABLE */
phy_write(phy, 14, 0x3d);
phy_write(phy, 13, 0x8007);
...
If the Linux kernel wants to do the same in mmd_phy_read() via a call to
mmd_phy_indirect() this most likely fails. The commands are issued in a
straight sequence but between two of them the hardware polling might run
a status check for the same PHY. This effectively breaks the kernel access
and makes use of c45 over c22 unusable.
Detailed analysis shows that for RTL838x, RTL930x and RTL931x polling
can be safely deactivated during operation. The MAC layer will continue
to show the last known state. RTL839x is an exception from this. As soon
as polling is disabled the MAC link status register shows "port down".
Enhance the driver to detect this register 13/14/13/14 access sequence.
Before the first access to register 13 of a PHY disable polling for the
corresponding port. Reenable polling as soon as the sequence is finished
or any other unexpected input is detected. Some details about the stop
and start timing:
- The stopping is issued inflight while the polling engine is working.
After it is finished no new polling for the port will be issued (tested
with only one port with active polling).
- Reenabling the polling engine happens within ~25us after the last
command of the MMD sequence. This is mostly due to MMIO overhead.
Technically speaking, add a simple state machine that increments a
per-port MMD counter for each successful step of the sequence. When the
first command starts (counter=1) stop polling. When the last command
finishes (counter=4), errors happen or unexpected data is sent, start
polling.
Additionally add a global "link flapping" option that allows to disable
the state tracker for the to-be-added RTL839x series completely.
Remark! The priv->bus[] array already existed since the initial driver
version but was never filled. To make use of it in this patch add
the initialization too.

RTL838x devices with 28 ports produce PHY access timeout errors during
one of three boots while waiting for MDIO command completion. This is
currently set to 1ms.
Background: Access to the Realtek Otto ethernet MDIO bus must wait for
a free slot between two hardware polls. The polling sequence consists
of at least 17 commands on the RTL838x devices. This delay can be nicely
seen when disabling polling completely. The following times are measured
on a bus running on the default 2.5MHz. Time measured is from the last
register write that sets the command-start-bit until the hardware
responds with the command-finished-bit set.
- average c22 read with polling enabled on all ports: ~380us
- average c22 read with polling enabled on one port: ~380us
- average c22 read with polling completely disabled: ~180us
For this bus frequency the bare hardware runtime for a single command
(32 bit preamble + 32 bit data) is ~25us. So the hardware adds quite
some overhead. On top of this comes the fact that the RTL838x devices
are low on resources (500Mhz 4Kec core with 16K cache).
Increase the timeout to 10ms to be on the safe side.
Remark! In a future patch the bus clock frequency will be made
configurable with a minimum frequency of 1.25MHz. Setting this
(e.g. for debugging purposes) doubles the command run times but
will safely stay below 10ms.

The MDIO driver has been prepared for multiple device support. Add all
required bits for the RTL838x (aka maple) series. This is straightforward
but some things are worth mentioning.
- The device has a lot in common with the RTL930x series. 28 ports, 4096
(Realtek) pages, 4 MMIO registers
- The MDIO engine has no fail bit. Thus the mask is set to zero
- There is only one SMI bus for 1G PHYs. No bus_map_base register exists.
- The setup_controller() function needs no c45 setup but must activate
the PHY access.

The MDIO driver has been prepared for multiple device support. Add all
required bits for the RTL839x (aka cypress) series. This is straightforward
but some things are worth mentioning.
- The device has a lot in common with the RTL931x series. 8192 (Realtek)
pages and 7 MMIO registers
- There are two SMI buses for 1G PHYs. Neither the bus nor address map
registers exist.
- The MAC layer shows link flapping when temporarily deactivating the
hardware polling for one port. Mark this in the info structure.
- The hardware has not much to configure. So the setup_controller()
function is not needed.
- c22 read/write functions must be called with PARK_PAGE = 0. Keep code
clean and avoid setting it to zero, matching the behavior of the RTL9310
logic.

This is not the best of wording. We need to narrow it down from
'kernel', to Realtek MDIO bus driver. What we cannot do is have PHY
drivers need to know anything about this. Working around this needs to
be limited to the Realtek MDIO driver, and probably the MDIO bus
locking operations.
When the PHY driver does a paged access, it takes the MDIO bus
lock. We need that to disable the HW polling. Once the paged access is
complete and the MDIO bus lock is released, we can re-enable HW
polling. I'm pretty sure C45 over C22 already takes the MDIO lock, so
that also solves the issue you pointed out above.
We also need an understanding of how the hardware uses the values it
reads during poll. One obvious issue i see is that it is not reading
register 26, so how does it know what speed the realtek PHYs are
using, in order to correctly configure the MAC?

If you are going this direction, then please somehow validate the PHY
is a realtek PHY, and error out if it is not.

How do you guarantee the polling will not get between?

Here seems like a good place to check the PHY is a realtek PHY, and
return -ENODEV if not. That should cause phy_attach_direct() to fail,
making it impossible to configure the port up.

I still think this is the wrong way to do this, and you should look at
MDIO bus lock/unlock.

The page is part of a single command towards the controller.
If a page is given the hardware will make the above two MDIO
commands out of this without any polling in between.
I will clarify this in the next version.

C45 over C22 interception only tried to mitigate a downstream nit
that is no show stopper. We already live perfectly without it. I will
drop that part.
