Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 3/8] net: phy: add (*notify_phy_attach/detach)() hooks to struct mii_bus
Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 18:35:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260705163532.2853959-4-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260705163532.2853959-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de>
From: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
Some MDIO buses require to program PHY polling registers depending on
the PHY type. RealTek switch SoCs are the most prominent example of a
DSA switch which doesn't allow to program MAC speed, duplex and
flow-control settings without using PHY polling to do so [1].
Avoid a half-baked solution in the MDIO bus driver because
- it must reinvent the bus scanning to determine the PHYs and
- it must anticipate the right point in time (e.g. deferred PHYs).
Hence there is a need to inform the MDIO bus driver that a PHY is
being attached or detached. Provide two simple hooks in struct
mii_bus which are called
- right after a PHY has been attached
- just before the PHY is going to be detached
Remark! A slightly different version of this patch was part of a
former series [2]. The discussion already showed that an initialization
hook should be placed somewhere late during the whole setup. This
commit implants it right after phy_init_hw() as suggested. On top of
this it adds the detach hook.
