net: dsa: microchip: implement ksz8463_setup()

This splits the KSZ8463 out of ksz8_setup()/ksz8_reset_switch() into a
dedicated ksz8463_setup() and ksz8463_reset_switch(), dropping drive
strength configuration, the KSZ87xx global errata workaround and the IRQ
initialization for that chip.  It also removes .teardown from
ksz8463_switch_ops.

A few questions below.

[Severity: Low]
Can ksz8463_reset_switch() ever return anything but 0?  ksz_cfg() throws the
register write status away:

drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz8.c:ksz_cfg() {
	ksz_rmw8(dev, addr, bits, set ? bits : 0);
}

So the error handling added in ksz8463_setup() is dead code:

	ret = ksz8463_reset_switch(dev);
	if (ret) {
		dev_err(ds->dev, "failed to reset switch\n");
		return ret;
	}

If the SPI/regmap access to KSZ8463_REG_SW_RESET fails, ksz8463_setup()
continues on to the storm/aging/VLAN-boundary programming and finally sets
SW_START on a switch that was never reset, without any message.

Since this helper is new, would it make sense to either declare it void, or
use ksz_rmw8() directly and propagate the error the way the REG_SW_CTRL_1
and REG_SW_CTRL_2 writes in ksz8463_setup() already do?

The same always-return-0 shape exists in ksz8_reset_switch(), so this is not
a new behaviour, only newly duplicated.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but ksz8463_setup() is a near-verbatim copy of
ksz8_setup(): the vlan_cache allocation, broadcast storm programming,
ksz8_config_cpu_port(), ksz8_enable_stp_addr(), ds->num_tx_queues, the
multicast storm disable, ksz_init_mib_timer(), all the ds->* flag
assignments, the S_LINK_AGING_CTRL / REG_SW_CTRL_1 / REG_SW_CTRL_2 /
S_REPLACE_VID_CTRL / S_MIRROR_CTRL writes, the ksz8_r_vlan_entries() loop,
the CPU port learning setting, ksz_mdio_register(), ksz_dcb_init() and the
final SW_START write are identical.  Only four things differ.

The rest of this family uses one setup function with small chip predicates
(ksz_is_ksz88x3()/ksz_is_ksz8463()).  Could the shared body be factored into
a common helper instead, so a later fix or a new DSA flag does not have to be
applied in two places?

[Severity: Low]
The count and size arguments look exchanged here.  The prototype is
devm_kcalloc(dev, n, size, gfp), so this reads as
sizeof(struct vlan_table) elements of dev->info->num_vlans bytes.  The
resulting byte count is the same, so nothing misbehaves, but would
devm_kcalloc(dev->dev, dev->info->num_vlans, sizeof(struct vlan_table),
GFP_KERNEL) be the intended order?

The same swap is present in ksz8_setup(), and this patch copies it into the
new function, which seems like a good moment to correct it.

[Severity: Medium]
ksz8463_setup() deliberately creates no interrupt domains (no
ksz_girq_setup()/ksz_pirq_setup()), but ksz_mdio_register() still runs the
PHY interrupt setup whenever dev->irq is set:

drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz_common.c:ksz_mdio_register() {
	...
	if (dev->irq > 0) {
		ret = ksz_irq_phy_setup(dev);
		if (ret)
			goto put_mdio_node;
	}
	...
}

and ksz_irq_phy_setup() resolves the PHY interrupt through the per-port
domain that ksz_pirq_setup() used to create:

			irq = irq_find_mapping(dev->ports[port].pirq.domain,
					       PORT_SRC_PHY_INT);
			if (!irq) {
				ret = -EINVAL;

For KSZ8463 dev->ports[port].pirq.domain is now always NULL, and a NULL
domain is not rejected:

kernel/irq/irqdomain.c:__irq_resolve_mapping() {
	/* Look for default domain if necessary */
	if (domain == NULL)
		domain = irq_default_domain;

On platforms that install an irq_default_domain, can this hand a virq owned
by an unrelated interrupt controller (hwirq 1 of the default domain) to
phylib via ds->user_mii_bus->irq[phy]?

And if devm_of_mdiobus_register() then fails, does ksz_irq_phy_free() call
irq_dispose_mapping() on that foreign virq, tearing down a mapping this
driver never created?

This needs a KSZ8463 node with both an 'interrupts' property (dev->irq =
spi->irq) and an 'mdio' child node with PHY sub-nodes.  On platforms without
a default domain the lookup returns 0 and probe fails with -EINVAL instead;
that outcome matches the pre-patch behaviour, since the KSZ8463 chip entry
sets no .port_nirqs and no per-port mappings were ever created.

Would gating ksz_irq_phy_setup() on the per-port domain actually existing be
preferable to relying on dev->irq alone?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but since the commit message says
"PTP and interrupts aren't setup" and this hunk is rewriting exactly this ops
table, it seems worth raising: ksz8463_switch_ops keeps advertising the PTP
callbacks

	.get_ts_info		= ksz_get_ts_info,
	.port_hwtstamp_get	= ksz_hwtstamp_get,
	.port_hwtstamp_set	= ksz_hwtstamp_set,
	.port_txtstamp		= ksz_port_txtstamp,
	.port_rxtstamp		= ksz_port_rxtstamp,

while no PTP clock is ever registered for this chip: the KSZ8463 entry in
ksz_switch_chips[] does not set .ptp_capable, and ksz8463_setup() calls
neither ksz_ptp_clock_register() nor ksz_ptp_irq_setup().  Those are the only
places that run mutex_init(&ptp_data->lock), spin_lock_init(&ptp_data->
clock_lock) and init_completion(&port->tstamp_msg_comp), so dev->ptp_data.
clock stays NULL and those objects stay all-zero.

ksz_get_ts_info() checks for this, but ksz_hwtstamp_set() does not:

drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz_ptp.c:ksz_set_hwtstamp_config() {
	...
	return ksz_ptp_enable_mode(dev);
}

drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz_ptp.c:ksz_ptp_enable_mode() {
	...
	if (tag_en) {
		ptp_schedule_worker(ptp_data->clock, 0);
	} else {
		ptp_cancel_worker_sync(ptp_data->clock);
	}

	tagger_data->hwtstamp_set_state(dev->ds, tag_en);
}

With CONFIG_NET_DSA_MICROCHIP_KSZ_PTP=y, does a SIOCSHWTSTAMP on a KSZ8463
user port reach ptp_cancel_worker_sync(NULL) here, even for the
HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF / FILTER_NONE combination, followed by an indirect call
through the NULL tagger_data->hwtstamp_set_state (ksz8463_connect_tag_
protocol() only assigns xmit_work_fn)?

Similarly, does the RX path take spin_lock_bh(&ptp_data->clock_lock) in
ksz_tstamp_reconstruct() on a spinlock that was never initialized for this
chip?

Would it make sense to drop these callbacks from ksz8463_switch_ops, or gate
them on dev->info->ptp_capable, while this table is being restructured?  The
same stale callbacks are present in ksz87xx_switch_ops.
