[PATCH net v4 0/4] net: dsa: ks8995: Post-move fixes

[Linus Walleij]

This fixes some glearing issues in the Micrel KS8995 driver
pointed out by Vladimir.

This patch series implements some required functionality
and strips the driver down to just KS8995 deeming the other
"micrel" variants to be actually handled by the Microchip
KSZ driver.

If the KS8995 should actually *also* be managed by the Microchip
driver and this driver deleted remains to be seen. It is clearly
the origin chip for that hardware: it is very close to the
"KSZ8 family" but there are differences.

It definitely has a different custom tag format for proper DSA
tagging, but I have implemented that: I now have to figure out
whether to do that on top of this driver or the KSZ driver before
continuing.

In the meantime, this patch series makes the situation better.

Changes in v4:
- Drop the final "port isolation" (should be better named "port separation")
  patch, due to lack of time to revise the patch. Let's keep this one
  for later.
- Hope we can merge this first round of fixups so the driver is in some
  reasonable state.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260219-ks8995-fixups-v3-0-a7fc63fe1916@kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- Re-tag the series for net since they are fixes.
- Implement mutual exclusion between .remove() and .shutdown()
  as found by the AI reviewer.
- Fix a typo in the patch dropping the KSZ chips support, 8955->8995,
  found by the AI reviewer.
- Add fallback compatibles for the deleted chips to the KSZ
  SPI driver.
- Implement port isolation.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260119-ks8995-fixups-v2-0-98bd034a0d12@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Do port_bitmask in another way and fix a bug where BIT(port_bitmask)
  was used instead of just port_bitmask.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260118-ks8995-fixups-v1-0-10a493f0339d@kernel.org

[PATCH net v4 1/4] net: dsa: ks8995: Add shutdown callback

[Linus Walleij]

The DSA framework requires that dsa_switch_shutdown() be
called when the driver is shut down.

Make sure to also implement the mutual exclusion required
by checking the platform data pointer to be NULL in
.remove() and .shutdown().

[PATCH net v4 2/4] net: dsa: microchip: Add fallback Micrel compatibles

[Linus Walleij]

Because of forking paths when Micrel was acquire by Microchip,
two devices also exist with the micrel,* prefix bindings.
Ass these to the KSZ SPI driver so users can use the more capable
driver.

[PATCH net v4 3/4] net: dsa: ks8955: Delete KSZ8864 and KSZ8795 support

[Linus Walleij]

After studying the datasheets for a bit, I can conclude that
the register maps for the two KSZ variants explicitly said to
be supported by this driver are fully supported by the newer
Micrel KSZ driver, including full VLAN support and a different
custom tag than what the KS8995 is using.

Delete this support, users should be using the KSZ driver
CONFIG_NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ_SPI and any new device trees should
use:
micrel,ksz8864 -> microchip,ksz8864
micrel,ksz8795 -> microchip,ksz8795

Apparently Microchip acquired Micrel at some point and this
created the confusion.

[PATCH net v4 4/4] net: dsa: ks8995: Add stub bridge join/leave

[Linus Walleij]

Implementing ks8995_port_pre_bridge_flags() and
ks8995_port_bridge_flags() without port_bridge_join()
is a no-op.

This adds stubs for bridge join/leave callbacks following
the pattern of drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz_common.c:
as we have STP callbacks and these will be called right
after bridge join/leave these will take care of the
job of setting up the learning which is all we support.

And also Tristram Ha. I didn't realize he is not a KSZ maintainer.
It's been a year since Woojung last sent a reply to the mailing lists.

I'm not sure what was the intention, but I believe in literary English
it would be "add these".

Could you keep the list sorted alphabetically? "micrel" comes before "microchip".

And more importantly: support for the internal PHYs? Tristram pointed
out here that this is is missing
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/DM3PR11MB87361761E911D6EAA0311DF2EC44A@DM3PR11MB8736.namprd11.prod.outlook.com/
I was curious how you are avoiding that issue?

Yes, but there are important differences to ksz_update_port_member() too.
For one, ksz_common keeps track of which port belongs to which bridge
(dsa_port_bridge_same), in order to separate forwarding domains, and
ks8995_port_stp_state_set() doesn't. So I have my doubts that the
complexity of the driver is currently sufficient to behave in a
satisfactory manner. If lan0 and lan1 were under br0 while lan2 and lan3
were under br1, I don't see what would prevent lan0 <-> lan2 forwarding.

Hmm, ok...

Andrew, do we have some sort of policy regarding how should DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE
drivers behave in terms of forwarding? Currently even with this series applied,
this driver doesn't respect the forwarding domains configured using bridges,
even though it marks them as offloaded. But the non-offloading path doesn't
work either, because there is no tagging protocol implemented for software
processing. Not sure at which point we should consider the driver quality
'good enough' for the current release vs the next one.
