On a 2-pair (4-wire) cable where both ends advertise gigabit, 1000BASE-T training cannot succeed, and instead of falling back to 100 Mbps the port loops, so no link or DHCP lease is ever obtained. MediaTek confirms the hardware is the root cause (Landen Chao, 2021): "EEE of the 10-year-old MT7530 internal gephy has many IOT problems, so it is recommended to disable its EEE." mtk_gephy_config_init() used to clear the EEE advertisement early, but commit af3b4b0e59de ("net: phy: mediatek-ge: do not disable EEE advertisement") removed that on the rationale that the DSA subdriver already performs an early disable. That holds for MT7531, whose mt7531_setup() clears MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV on each switch PHY, but not for the MT7530 PHY: neither the MT7621 integrated switch nor the dedicated MT7530 IC ever had such a loop, so removing it left those boards without any working early EEE disable and the link flapping came back. Since the broken hardware is the PHY, fix it in the PHY driver so it covers all users of this PHY, integrated in a switch or standalone: - clear MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV in probe(), as early as possible, before anything can negotiate EEE with the link partner; - clear it again in config_init() and call phy_disable_eee() there. config_init() is what phy_init_hw() replays after a PHY reset, when the register is back at its EEE-advertising hardware default, and it runs after of_set_phy_eee_broken() in phy_probe(), so the eee_disabled_modes mask survives and neither phylib nor userspace can re-enable EEE. dp83867 disables broken EEE from config_init() the same way. Auto-negotiation then falls back to a stable 100 Mbps link instead of looping at gigabit. Tested on ASUS RT-AX53U (MT7621): with a 2-pair cable on the WAN port, a single clean 100 Mbps link comes up and a DHCP lease is obtained, where the unpatched driver loops. Fixes: af3b4b0e59de ("net: phy: mediatek-ge: do not disable EEE advertisement") Suggested-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: Vladislav Karmanov --- Changes in v4 (addressing the sashiko review of v3): - phy_disable_eee() called from probe() was undone later in the same phy_probe() flow for PHYs with an of_node: of_set_phy_eee_broken() zeroes eee_disabled_modes after ->probe has already run, leaving userspace able to re-enable EEE through ethtool. - The probe()-time MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV clear was not replayed by phy_init_hw() after a PHY reset, leaving the register at its EEE-advertising hardware default. - Keep the probe()-time advertisement clear -- it also feeds an empty advertisement back into genphy_c45_read_eee_adv() during phy_probe() -- and move the durable disable to config_init(), which runs after of_set_phy_eee_broken() and is the callback phy_init_hw() replays after resets. This is the placement dp83867 uses for the same kind of quirk. - The Reviewed-by/Acked-by given for v3 are not carried over: the placement is what changed, so they need a fresh look. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260904202800.3410838-1-vladislav.karmanov.dev@gmail.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260820202844.1821687-1-vladislav.karmanov.dev@gmail.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260818182829.1580811-1-vladislav.karmanov.dev@gmail.com/ drivers/net/phy/mediatek/mtk-ge.c | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/mediatek/mtk-ge.c b/drivers/net/phy/mediatek/mtk-ge.c index 73d9b72..96d8ac5 100644 --- a/drivers/net/phy/mediatek/mtk-ge.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/mediatek/mtk-ge.c @@ -62,10 +62,38 @@ static void mtk_gephy_config_init(struct phy_device *phydev) FIELD_PREP(MTK_MCC_NEARECHO_OFFSET_MASK, 0x3)); } +static int mt7530_phy_probe(struct phy_device *phydev) +{ + /* The MT7530 internal GE PHY has broken EEE: with EEE advertised, + * some link partners fail to establish a stable link (on a 2-pair + * cable, 1000BASE-T training fails and the port loops instead of + * falling back).
