Subject: sun7i-dwmac: link detection failure with 1000Mbit parters
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2019 20:21:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191030202117.GA29022@plaes.org> (raw)

Heya!

I have noticed that with sun7i-dwmac driver (OLinuxino Lime2 eMMC), link
detection fails consistently with certain 1000Mbit partners (for example Huawei
B525s-23a 4g modem ethernet outputs and RTL8153-based USB3.0 ethernet dongle),
but the same hardware works properly with certain other link partners (100Mbit GL AR150
for example).

(Just need to test with another 1000Mbit switch at the office).

I first thought it could be a regression, but I went from current master to as far back
as 5.2.0-rc6 where it was still broken.

Failure is basically following:

[   10.971485] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: PHY [stmmac-0:01] driver [Generic PHY]
[   10.980841] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: No Safety Features support found

[   19.371894] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

Ethtool output in case link is down:

With 100Mbit link partner (GL Inet AR150), the link is pulled up almost
immediately:
