Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: macb: set default_an_inband to true for SGMII
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 06:38:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312133856.2911581-1-charles.perry@microchip.com> (raw)

Most platforms using GEM in SGMII mode use in-band autonegotiation
because it is on by default in GEM's 1G PCS and is always on since
commit e276e5e40e92 ("net: macb: Disable PCS auto-negotiation for SGMII
fixed-link mode"). Leave it on if possible using the "default_an_inband"
flag of "struct phylink_config" so that platforms that lack in-band
autonegotiation configurability at the PHY do not break with commit
1338cfef1ff1 ("net: macb: fix SGMII with inband aneg disabled") which
will turn off in-band autoneg for non hot pluggable PHYs.

Once the majority of the PHY drivers that support SGMII have the
->config_inband() callback, this commit could be reverted so that non
hot pluggable PHY use outband negotiation with macb, like its the case
for other MACs.

Fixes: 1338cfef1ff1 ("net: macb: fix SGMII with inband aneg disabled")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260304-nebulizer-rounding-40fbc81a2ba1@spud
