Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] net: phy: realtek: support MDI swapping for RTL8226-CG
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 20:32:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327202001.413280-1-jan@3e8.eu> (raw)
Add support for configuring swapping of MDI pairs (ABCD->DCBA) when the
property "enet-phy-pair-order" is specified.
Unfortunately, no documentation about this feature is available, but
this implementation still tries to avoid magic numbers and raw register
numbers where it seems clear what is going on. As it is unknown whether
the patching step can be safely reversed, only enabling MDI swapping is
supported.
Some other Realtek PHYs also support similar mechanisms:
- RTL8221B-VB-CG allows to configure MDI swapping via the same register,
but does not need the additional patching step. However, it is unclear
whether a driver implementation for that PHY is necessary, as it is
known to support configuration via strapping pins (which is working
fine at least in Zyxel XGS1210-12 rev B1).
- The patching step seems to match the one for the integrated PHYs of
some Realtek PCIe/USB NICs (see for example the r8152 driver).
For now, only implement this for the RTL8226-CG PHY, where it is needed
for the switches Zyxel XGS1010-12 rev A1 and XGS1210-12 rev A1.

v2:
- Added register/field definitions where possible. For some registers,
it seems hard to find a proper name, but I still defined them where
some of the fields are known.
- Introduced new helper function to swap RG_LPF_CAP and RG_LPF_CAP_XG
values, in order to reduce duplication.
