a PHY-driven phy_port contains a 'supported' field containing the
linkmodes available on this port. This is populated based on :
- The PHY's reported features
- The DT representation of the connector
- The PHY's attach_mdi() callback
As these different attrbution methods work in conjunction, the helper
phy_port_update_supported() recomputes the final 'supported' value based
on the populated mediums, linkmodes and pairs.
However this recompute wasn't correctly implemented, and added more
modes than necessary by or'ing the medium-specific modes to the existing
support. Let's fix this and properly filter the modes.

net: phy: phy_port: Correctly recompute the port's linkmodes
This patch changes phy_port_update_supported() from OR'ing medium-specific
modes into port->supported to AND'ing (filtering) port->supported against
the accumulated medium modes.

When port->supported starts empty (all zeros), this AND operation will
always produce an empty result regardless of what modes are in supported.
Tracing the call path of_phy_ports() -> phy_of_parse_port() -> phy_add_port()
-> phy_port_update_supported(): phy_of_parse_port() creates the port via
phy_port_alloc() which zeros port->supported, and phy_of_parse_port()
only sets port->mediums and port->pairs without populating port->supported.
The attach_mdi_port() callbacks for drivers like dp83822 and marvell10g
also do not set port->supported before phy_port_update_supported() runs.
Does this leave port->supported empty for ports described in device tree?
The docstring above this function at line 112 states "Any mode that was
manually set in the port's supported list remains set" - but for the DT
path where port->supported starts at zero, the AND with zero produces
zero regardless of what medium modes were computed.

The phy_link_topology structure stores information about the PHY-related
components connected to a net_device. It is opportunistically allocated,
when we add the first item to the topology, as this is not relevant for
all kinds of net_devices.
In preparation for the addition of phy_port tracking in the topology,
let's make a dedicated helper for that allocation sequence.

phy_port is aimed at representing the various physical interfaces of a
net_device. They can be controlled by various components in the link,
such as the Ethernet PHY, the Ethernet MAC, and SFP module, etc.
Let's therefore make so we keep track of all the ports connected to a
netdev in phy_link_topology. The only ports added for now are phy-driven
ports.

net: phy: phy_link_topology: Track ports in phy_link_topology
This commit adds a new ports xarray to phy_link_topology to track
phy_port structures alongside PHY devices. The ports are added when
a PHY is added and removed when a PHY is removed.

The ports xarray is initialized here, but netdev_free_phy_link_topology()
in net/core/dev.c only calls xa_destroy() on topo->phys:
static void netdev_free_phy_link_topology(struct net_device *dev)
{
struct phy_link_topology *topo = dev->link_topo;
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PHYLIB) && topo) {
xa_destroy(&topo->phys);
kfree(topo);
dev->link_topo = NULL;
}
}
Should xa_destroy(&topo->ports) be added before the kfree(topo) to avoid
leaking memory allocated by the ports xarray?

phy_port tracks the interfaces that a netdevice feeds into. SFP cages are
such ports, but so far we are only tracking the ones that are driven by
PHYs acting as media-converters.
Let's populate a phy_port for MAC driver SFP cages, handled by phylink.
This phy_port represents the SFP cage itself, and not the module that
may be plugged into it. It's therefore not an MDI interface, so only the
'interfaces' field is relevant here.
The phy_port is only populated for 'NETDEV' phylink instances, as
otherwise we don't have any topology to attach the port to.

When dealing with PHY-driver SFP, we create a phy_port representing the
SFP bus when we know we have such a bus.
We can move the port creation before registering the sfp upstream ops,
as long as we know the SFP bus is there. This will allow passing the
phy_port along with the upstream information to the SFP bus.

The SFP bus infrastructure notifies its upstream when a PHY device was
discovered on the module. However, we don't have any indication when a
module with no PHY was inserted, except for the .insert() and .start()
notifications.
We want to keep track of the SFP module's capabilities using phy_port.
When the module contains an embedded PHY, the PHY driver will expose a
phy_port for it. However when there's no PHY, we have no hook to
populate the phy_port, so let's introduce one. It is called when we
have parsed the module's caps, applied the fixups, tried and failed to
probe for a PHY.
This will allow the bus' upstream to create the corresponding port, and
register it to the topology.

Now that th SFP bus infrastructure notifies when PHY-less modules are
connected, we can create a phy_port to represent it. Instead of letting
the SFP subsystem handle that, the Bus' upstream is in charge of
maintaining that phy_port and register it to the topology, as the
upstream (in this case a phy device) is directly interacting with the
underlying net_device.
Add a phy_caps helper alongside to get the achievable modes on this
module based on what the phy_port representing the bus supports.

net: phylink: Represent PHY-less SFP modules with phy_port
This patch adds support for representing PHY-less SFP modules using
phy_port by implementing connect_nophy and disconnect_nophy callbacks
for phylink.

This early return guards against sfp_bus_port being NULL, which prevents
mod_port from being allocated in that case.

^^^^^^^^^
Can pl->mod_port be NULL here? Looking at the SFP state machine in
sfp.c, sfp_module_disconnect_nophy() is called from the global cleanup
block when !sfp->mod_phy. This cleanup runs whenever the state machine
is not in SFP_S_DOWN and the module state changes.
If the module is removed while the state machine is in an early state
like SFP_S_WAIT or SFP_S_INIT (before PHY probing completes),
sfp_module_disconnect_nophy() will be called even though
phylink_sfp_connect_nophy() was never invoked. In that case, pl->mod_port
is still NULL.
The phy_link_topo_del_port() function dereferences port->id without a
NULL check, which would cause a NULL pointer dereference.
Should this check for pl->mod_port before calling phy_link_topo_del_port,
similar to how phylink_destroy_sfp_port() does?

MII phy_ports are not meant to be connected directly to a link partner.
They are meant to feed into some media converter devices, so far we only
support SFP modules for that.
We have information about what MII they can handle, however we don't
store anything about whether they are currently connected to an SFP
module or not. As phy_port aims at listing the front-facing ports, let's
store an "occupied" bit to know whether or not a MII port is currently
front-facing (i.e. there's no module in the SFP cage), or occupied (i.e.
there's an SFP module).

net: phy: phy_port: Store information about a MII port's occupancy
This patch adds an "occupied" bitfield to struct phy_port to track
whether an MII port has an SFP module inserted. The field is set in
connect_nophy callbacks and cleared in disconnect_nophy callbacks.

Note that phylink_sfp_connect_nophy() has a NULL check for sfp_bus_port
at the start of the function that returns early if it is NULL.

Can this dereference a NULL pointer? When phylink is created with
PHYLINK_DEV type (rather than PHYLINK_NETDEV), pl->netdev is NULL and
phylink_create_sfp_port() returns early without setting sfp_bus_port.
The callbacks are still registered via sfp_bus_add_upstream(), so when
a PHY-less SFP module is later inserted and removed, this function
would be called with sfp_bus_port being NULL.
The connect function checks for NULL sfp_bus_port, but the disconnect
function does not. Should this have a similar guard?

In order to allow netlink access to phy_ports, let's add a helper to
retrieve them. When handling a port coming from phy_link_topology, the
caller must hold rtnl until it's done with it.

Ethernet network interfaces may have more than one front-facing port.
The phy_port infrastructure was introduced to keep track of
these ports, and allow userspace to know about the presence and
capability of these ports. Add a ethnl netlink message to report this
information.

Expose the phy_port information to userspace, so that we can know how
many ports are available on a given interface, as well as their
capabilities. For MDI ports, we report the list of supported linkmodes
based on what the PHY that drives this port says.
For MII ports, i.e. empty SFP cages, we report the MII linkmodes that we
can output on this port.
