Subject: [PATCH iwl-net] ice: fall back to SBQ when LL PHY timer interface times out
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 11:58:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511095830.1095984-1-przemyslaw.korba@intel.com> (raw)

The low-latency (LL) PHY timer interface relies on a tight, atomic poll
of the PF_SB_ATQBAL register with a 2ms timeout. After an NVM update /
EMPR, FW may need significantly longer than 2ms to start responding to
ATQBAL commands. The first PHY adjust or incval write issued by
ice_ptp_rebuild_owner() fails with -ETIMEDOUT.

Fix this by falling back to the existing SBQ-based PHY register write
path when LL times out. This makes sure PTP is initialized when FW takes
longer than expected to come back online.

Steps to reproduce:
./nvmupdate64e -if devlink -f
Update E810 card with nvmupdate64e, and observe dmesg errors:
  Failed to write PHC increment value, status -110
  PTP reset failed, error: -110 (-ETIMEDOUT)

Fixes: ef9a64c07294 ("ice: implement low latency PHY timer updates")
