[PATCH 0/3] net: mvneta: fix usage as a module, and support QSGMII properly

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

This set of patches is a new attempt at fixing the operation of the
mvneta driver when built as a module. For the record, the previous
attempt, merged in commit e3a8786c10e75903f1269474e21fe8cb49c3a670
('net: mvneta: fix usage as a module on RGMII configurations') caused
problems for all RGMII configurations.

In fact, it turned out that the MAC to PHY connection on the Armada XP
GP, which was described as using RGMII-ID according to its Device
Tree, is in fact a QSGMII connection. And the RGMII and QSGMII
configurations have to be handled in a different way in the driver,
because the SERDES configuration is different in those two cases.

So, this patch series fixes that by:

 * Adding minimal handling of a "qsgmii" connection type in the PHY
   layer. Mainly to make sure that a "qsgmii" phy-mode in the Device
   Tree is recognized, and handed over to the driver as
   PHY_INTERFACE_QSGMII.

 * Changing the mvneta driver to properly configure the RGMIIEn and
   PCSEn bits in the GMAC_CTRL_2 register, and configure the SERDES
   register, in the three possible cases: RGMII, SGMII and QSGMII.

 * Updating the Device Tree of the Armada XP GP board to reflect the
   fact that it uses a QSGMII MAC/PHY connection.

PATCH 1 and 2 would be merged by David Miller, through the net tree,
while PATCH 3 would be merged by the mach-mvebu maintainers, through
their tree and arm-soc.

This set of patches has been tested on:

 * Armada XP GP (four QSGMII interfaces)
 * Armada XP DB (two RGMII interfaces and two SGMII interfaces)
 * Armada 370 Mirabox (two RGMII interfaces)

I've tested both the driver built-in, and compiled as a module.

Since the last attempt at fixing this was quite a fiasco, I'd like
this new attempt to be tested more widely before being applied. I'll
try to do some testing on other Armada boards I have, but independent
testing from other persons would also be appreciated.

Note that these patches apply after reverting the previous attempt,
obviously.

Thanks,

Thomas

[PATCH 1/3] net: phy: add minimal support for QSGMII PHY

[Thomas Petazzoni]

This commit adds the necessary definitions for the PHY layer to
recognize "qsgmii" as a valid PHY interface. A QSMII interface, as
defined at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Independent_Interface#Quad_Serial_Gigabit_Media_Independent_Interface,
is "is a method of combining four SGMII lines into a 5Gbit/s
interface. QSGMII, like SGMII, uses LVDS signalling for the TX and RX
data and a single LVDS clock signal. QSGMII uses significantly fewer
signal lines than four SGMII busses."

This type of MAC <-> PHY connection might require special handling on
the MAC driver side, so it should be possible to express this type of
MAC <-> PHY connection, for example in the Device Tree.

[PATCH 2/3] net: mvneta: properly configure the MAC <-> PHY connection in all situations

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Commit 5445eaf309ff ('mvneta: Try to fix mvneta when compiled as
module') fixed the mvneta driver to make it work properly when loaded
as a module in SGMII configuration, which was tested successful by the
author on the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3, which uses SGMII.

However, some other platforms, namely the Armada XP GP don't use
SGMII, but a QSGMII connection between the MAC and the PHY, and this
case was not supported by the mvneta driver, which was relying on
configuration put in place by the bootloader. While this works when
the mvneta driver is built-in (because clocks are not gated), it
breaks when mvneta is built as a module, because the clock is gated
(all configuration is lost) and then re-enabled when the mvneta driver
is loaded.

In order to support all of RGMII, SGMII and QSGMII, this commit
reworks how the PHY interface configuration is done, and simplifies
it: it removes the mvneta_port_sgmii_config() and
mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() functions, which were strange because
mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() was called in all cases, even for SGMII
configurations. Also, the mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() function was taking
a boolean as argument, which was always true.

Instead, all the PHY interface configuration logic is moved into the
mvneta_port_power_up() function, in a much simpler 'switch' construct,
with four cases:

 - QSGMII: the RGMIIEn bit, the PCSEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 are set, and
   the SERDES is configured in QSGMII. Technically speaking,
   configuring the SERDES of the first port would be sufficient, but
   it is simpler to do it on all ports.

 - SGMII: the RGMIIEn bit, the PCSEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 are set, and
   the SERDES is configured as SGMII.

 - RGMII: the RGMIIEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 is set. The PCSEn bit is kept
   cleared, and no SERDES configuration is done, because RGMII is not
   using SERDES lanes.

 - other: an error is returned. For this reason, the
   mvneta_port_power_up() now returns an int instead of nothing, and
   the return value is checked by mvneta_probe().

This has been successfully tested on:

 * Armada XP DB, which has two RGMII and two SGMII connections
 * Armada XP GP, which uses QSGMII for its four interfaces
 * Armada 370 Mirabox, which has two RGMII connections

[PATCH 3/3] ARM: mvebu: use qsgmii phy-mode for Armada XP GP interfaces

[Thomas Petazzoni]

The Armada XP GP isn't using rgmii-id connections between the MAC and
PHY, but instead a single QSGMII connection, which is a quad-SGMII
connection: a double pair of differential lines that are multiplexed
to convey the traffic of four network interfaces between a MAC and a
PHY.

Until now, the Armada XP GP was relying on the bootloader setting the
correct values in various configuration registers. With this change,
the mvneta driver can be used as a module on this platform.

Just tried on the AX3 using 3.14 with the last fix reverted, and it
works fine here as well both built-in and as a module. Feel free to

Jason,

Would it be possible to get PATCH 3/3 merged into 3.15-rc in the not
too distant future? David Miller has already sent PATCH 1/3 and PATCH
2/3, and they are part of the just released -rc2. However, the Device
Tree fix for Armada XP GP QSGMII usage is missing.

Thanks!
