Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] net: ethernet: oa_tc6: deliver the PHY interrupt to phylib
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 18:39:47 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901130948.212914-3-parthiban.veerasooran@microchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901130948.212914-1-parthiban.veerasooran@microchip.com>

The integrated PHY has no dedicated interrupt line; its interrupt is
delivered in-band as the PHYINT bit in STATUS0, which raises the MAC-PHY
SPI interrupt via the extended status. phy_mac_interrupt() only triggers
a link-status re-read and cannot make the PHY driver read and acknowledge
its interrupt source registers, so expose the PHY interrupt to phylib as a
nested virtual IRQ instead.

Use dummy_irq_chip as the irqchip, map a virtual IRQ and assign it to
phydev->irq before phy_connect_direct() so phylib enters interrupt mode
and uses the PHY driver's config_intr/handle_interrupt. Unmask PHYINT in
INT_MASK0, and when it is seen in the extended status, dispatch
handle_nested_irq() synchronously from the sleepable threaded IRQ. PHYINT
is level triggered, so acking the PHY source there clears it before the
next data chunk, avoiding a storm.
