I would add a sentence about the solution, e.g. moving ENET_OUT handling to driver probe etc.

This change seems unrelated to the problem. At least, I can leave this part out
and the toggle still disappear after apply the remaining parts.
However, I've only my Duckbill (iMX28) around to test with.

As enet_out is optional, shouldn't this block be guarded by
if (fep->clk_enet_out)... ?

When MAC is not ready with clocks disabled, it is not necessary to supply clock for PHY. In fact, PHY also is not ready, why does it need clock ?
For your problem, you must add PHY reset in your dts file to resolve your problem.
I don't agree with this patch.

How about the case of the "PHY" is actually a switch? You can use the
MDIO bus separate from the MAC, you can configure the switch while the
MAC is down, etc. Packets can be flowing in and out of switch ports,
while the MAC is down. You only need the MAC up when the host wants to
send packets.

Do you mean PHY switch also use the enet_out clock ?
- If not, this topic is not related to the patch.
- If so, we should add flag check, we can disable the enet_out clock when the phy is not switch or switch phy doesn't use the clock in real case, which can save power. And the patch title is not right, not "fix" since it is not a issue, just different usage for different cases.

Andy

Yes, the Marvell switches i've have connected to a Vybrid use enet_out
clock. There was a recent change to IMX pinctrl which broke the muxing
for ENET_OUT on Vydrid, which broke the probing of these switches. It
was no longer possible to mux the pin as ENET_OUT, and the switches
disappeared.

The phy-reset-gpio property is set in the DTB. But fec_reset_phy()
which asserts the RESET is only called from within the probe() function.
It should probably be called from fec_restart() instead?

After enet_out clock enable, you can call fec_reset_phy() do phy reset. Don't put it in .fec_restart() function because
Cable hotplug test cause phy registers reset to HW default status.

Hi Lothar
When does this up/down happen? During normal operation when the link
is administrative up?
When did this start happening? Did it happen before
