[PATCH net-next v6 0/5] net: cadence: macb: add IEEE 802.3az EEE support

[Nicolai Buchwitz]

Add Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) support to the Cadence GEM
(macb) driver using phylink's managed EEE framework. The GEM MAC has
hardware LPI registers but no built-in idle timer, so the driver
implements software-managed TX LPI using a delayed_work timer while
delegating EEE negotiation and ethtool state to phylink.

Changes from v5:
  - macb_tx_lpi_set() no longer manages its own spinlock; it now
    requires bp->lock to be held by the caller and asserts this with
    lockdep_assert_held(). All callers (macb_tx_lpi_work_fn,
    macb_mac_enable_tx_lpi, macb_mac_disable_tx_lpi) take bp->lock
    explicitly. Based on feedback from Jakub Kicinski.
  - macb_tx_lpi_wake() is now called under the existing bp->lock in
    macb_start_xmit(), eliminating the redundant lock acquire/release.
    An eee_active check at the top of macb_tx_lpi_wake() short-circuits
    the register read on the common (EEE-disabled) path. Based on
    feedback from Jakub Kicinski.
  - macb_tx_all_queues_idle() uses READ_ONCE for tx_head/tx_tail
    (called under bp->lock; taking tx_ptr_lock here would invert the
    established lock order). Loop rewritten to match the driver
    convention: for (q = 0, queue = bp->queues; ...; ++q, ++queue).
    Based on feedback from Jakub Kicinski and Claudiu Beznea.
  - Added Reviewed-by: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea@tuxon.dev> to
    patches 1-4.

Changes from v4:
  - Removed redundant MACB_CAPS_EEE guards from macb_get_eee/set_eee;
    phylink already returns -EOPNOTSUPP when lpi_capabilities and
    lpi_interfaces are not populated. Based on feedback from Russell King.
  - Added patch 5 enabling EEE for Mobileye EyeQ5, tested by Théo Lebrun
    using a hardware loopback.

Changes from v3:
  - Dropped the register-definitions-only patch; LPI counter offsets
    (GEM_RXLPI/RXLPITIME/TXLPI/TXLPITIME) now land in the statistics
    patch, and TXLPIEN + MACB_CAPS_EEE are introduced alongside the TX
    LPI implementation where they are first used. Series is now 4 patches.
  - Add Reviewed-by: Théo Lebrun <theo.lebrun@bootlin.com> to all patches.
  - Split chained assignment in macb_tx_lpi_set() (suggested by
    checkpatch).

Changes from v2:
  - macb_tx_lpi_set() now returns bool indicating whether the register
    value actually changed, avoiding redundant writes.
  - Removed tx_lpi_enabled field from struct macb; LPI state is tracked
    entirely within the spinlock-protected register read/modify/write.
  - macb_tx_lpi_wake() uses the return value of macb_tx_lpi_set() to
    skip the cancel/udelay when TXLPIEN was already clear.
  All changes based on feedback from Russell King.

Changes from v1:
  - Rewrote to use phylink managed EEE (mac_enable_tx_lpi /
    mac_disable_tx_lpi callbacks) instead of the obsolete
    phy_init_eee() approach, as recommended by Russell King.
  - ethtool get_eee/set_eee are now pure phylink passthroughs.
  - Removed all manual EEE state tracking from mac_link_up/down;
    phylink handles the lifecycle.

The series is structured as follows:

  1. LPI statistics: Expose the four hardware EEE counters (RX/TX LPI
     transitions and time) through ethtool -S, accumulated in software
     since they are clear-on-read. Adds register offset definitions
     GEM_RXLPI/RXLPITIME/TXLPI/TXLPITIME (0x270-0x27c).

  2. TX LPI engine: Introduces GEM_TXLPIEN (NCR bit 19) and
     MACB_CAPS_EEE alongside the implementation that uses them.
     phylink mac_enable_tx_lpi / mac_disable_tx_lpi callbacks with a
     delayed_work-based idle timer. LPI entry is deferred 1 second
     after link-up per IEEE 802.3az. Wake before transmit with a
     conservative 50us PHY wake delay (IEEE 802.3az Tw_sys_tx).

  3. ethtool EEE ops: get_eee/set_eee delegating to phylink for PHY
     negotiation and timer management.

  4. RP1 enablement: Set MACB_CAPS_EEE for the Raspberry Pi 5's RP1
     southbridge (Cadence GEM_GXL rev 0x00070109 + BCM54213PE PHY).

  5. EyeQ5 enablement: Set MACB_CAPS_EEE for the Mobileye EyeQ5 GEM
     instance, verified with a hardware loopback by Théo Lebrun.

Tested on Raspberry Pi 5 (1000BASE-T, BCM54213PE PHY, 250ms LPI timer):

  iperf3 throughput (no regression):
    TCP TX: 937.8 Mbit/s (EEE on) vs 937.0 Mbit/s (EEE off)
    TCP RX: 936.5 Mbit/s both

  Latency (ping RTT, small expected increase from LPI wake):
    1s interval:  0.273 ms (EEE on) vs 0.181 ms (EEE off)
    10ms interval: 0.206 ms (EEE on) vs 0.168 ms (EEE off)
    flood ping:   0.200 ms (EEE on) vs 0.156 ms (EEE off)

  LPI counters (ethtool -S, 1s-interval ping, EEE on):
    tx_lpi_transitions: 112
    tx_lpi_time: 15574651

  Zero packet loss across all tests. Also verified with
  ethtool --show-eee / --set-eee and cable unplug/replug cycling.

[PATCH net-next v6 1/5] net: cadence: macb: add EEE LPI statistics counters

[Nicolai Buchwitz]

The GEM MAC provides four read-only, clear-on-read LPI statistics
registers at offsets 0x270-0x27c:

  GEM_RXLPI     (0x270): RX LPI transition count (16-bit)
  GEM_RXLPITIME (0x274): cumulative RX LPI time (24-bit)
  GEM_TXLPI     (0x278): TX LPI transition count (16-bit)
  GEM_TXLPITIME (0x27c): cumulative TX LPI time (24-bit)

Add register offset definitions, extend struct gem_stats with
corresponding u64 software accumulators, and register the four
counters in gem_statistics[] so they appear in ethtool -S output.
Because the hardware counters clear on read, the existing
macb_update_stats() path accumulates them into the u64 fields on
every stats poll, preventing loss between userspace reads.

These registers are present on SAMA5D2, SAME70, PIC32CZ, and RP1
variants of the Cadence GEM IP and have been confirmed on RP1 via
devmem reads.

[PATCH net-next v6 2/5] net: cadence: macb: implement EEE TX LPI support

[Nicolai Buchwitz]

The GEM MAC has hardware LPI registers (NCR bit 19: TXLPIEN) but no
built-in idle timer, so asserting TXLPIEN blocks all TX immediately
with no automatic wake. A software idle timer is required, as noted
in Microchip documentation (section 40.6.19): "It is best to use
firmware to control LPI."

Implement phylink managed EEE using the mac_enable_tx_lpi and
mac_disable_tx_lpi callbacks:

- macb_tx_lpi_set(): sets or clears TXLPIEN; requires bp->lock to be
  held by the caller (asserted with lockdep_assert_held). Returns bool
  indicating whether the register actually changed, avoiding redundant
  writes and unnecessary udelay on the xmit fast path.

- macb_tx_lpi_work_fn(): delayed_work handler that enters LPI if all
  TX queues are idle and EEE is still active. Takes bp->lock with
  irqsave before calling macb_tx_lpi_set().

- macb_tx_lpi_schedule(): arms the work timer using the LPI timer
  value provided by phylink (default 250 ms). Called from
  macb_tx_complete() after each TX drain so the idle countdown
  restarts whenever the ring goes quiet.

- macb_tx_lpi_wake(): called from macb_start_xmit() under bp->lock,
  immediately before TSTART. Returns early if eee_active is false to
  avoid a register read on the common path when EEE is disabled.
  Clears TXLPIEN and applies a 50 us udelay for PHY wake (IEEE
  802.3az Tw_sys_tx is 16.5 us for 1000BASE-T / 30 us for
  100BASE-TX; GEM has no hardware enforcement). Only delays when
  TXLPIEN was actually set. The delay is placed after tx_head is
  advanced so the work_fn's queue-idle check sees a non-empty ring
  and cannot race back into LPI before the frame is transmitted.

- mac_enable_tx_lpi: stores the timer and sets eee_active under
  bp->lock, then defers the first LPI entry by 1 second per IEEE
  802.3az section 22.7a.

- mac_disable_tx_lpi: cancels the work (sync, without the lock to
  avoid deadlock with the work_fn), then takes bp->lock to clear
  eee_active and deassert TXLPIEN.

Populate phylink_config lpi_interfaces (MII, GMII, RGMII variants)
and lpi_capabilities (MAC_100FD | MAC_1000FD) so phylink can
negotiate EEE with the PHY and call the callbacks appropriately.
Set lpi_timer_default to 250000 us and eee_enabled_default to true.

[PATCH net-next v6 3/5] net: cadence: macb: add ethtool EEE support

[Nicolai Buchwitz]

Implement get_eee and set_eee ethtool ops for GEM as simple passthroughs
to phylink_ethtool_get_eee() and phylink_ethtool_set_eee().

No MACB_CAPS_EEE guard is needed: phylink returns -EOPNOTSUPP from both
ops when mac_supports_eee is false, which is the case when
lpi_capabilities and lpi_interfaces are not populated. Those fields are
only set when MACB_CAPS_EEE is present (previous patch), so phylink
already handles the unsupported case correctly.

Set MACB_CAPS_EEE for the Raspberry Pi 5 RP1 southbridge
(Cadence GEM_GXL rev 0x00070109 paired with BCM54213PE PHY).

EEE has been verified on RP1 hardware: the LPI counter registers
at 0x270-0x27c return valid data, the TXLPIEN bit in NCR (bit 19)
controls LPI transmission correctly, and ethtool --show-eee reports
the negotiated state after link-up.

Other GEM variants that share the same LPI register layout (SAMA5D2,
SAME70, PIC32CZ) can be enabled by adding MACB_CAPS_EEE to their
respective config entries once tested.

[PATCH net-next v6 5/5] net: cadence: macb: enable EEE for Mobileye EyeQ5

[Nicolai Buchwitz]

Set MACB_CAPS_EEE for the Mobileye EyeQ5 GEM instance. EEE has been
verified on EyeQ5 hardware using a loopback setup with ethtool
--show-eee confirming EEE active on both ends at 100baseT/Full and
1000baseT/Full.
