Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/4] net: ethernet: oa_tc6: deliver the PHY interrupt to phylib
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 10:50:04 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907052007.391972-3-parthiban.veerasooran@microchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907052007.391972-1-parthiban.veerasooran@microchip.com>

The OA TC6 standard defines PHY interrupt delivery via the SPI status
register as optional. When implemented, the PHY has no dedicated interrupt
line; its interrupt is signalled through the MAC-PHY SPI interface.
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.

Introduce the OA_TC6_PHY_INT quirk flag so drivers can opt in when the
PHY interrupt is routed in-band.

When OA_TC6_PHY_INT is set, use dummy_irq_chip as the irqchip and map
a virtual IRQ inside oa_tc6_mdiobus_register() before mdiobus_register()
is called. Populate all mii_bus->irq[] entries with the virtual IRQ so
phy_device_create() picks it up regardless of the PHY's MDIO address,
keeping mii_bus->irq[] and phydev->irq consistent. The corresponding
teardown is integrated into oa_tc6_mdiobus_unregister().

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.
