Subject: [PATCH net v4] net: phy: qca83xx: read resolved QCA8337 link status
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 21:35:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008193515.14880-1-yongzhao.derek@gmail.com> (raw)
After a QCA8337 SmartSpeed downshift, genphy_read_status() can report
1000 Mbit/s from the advertised modes when the PHY is running at
100 Mbit/s. On a Redmi AX5400 running downstream OpenWrt Linux 6.18.52,
this caused qca8k to program the user-port MAC for 1000 Mbit/s and
traffic failed. An earlier prototype that read the resolved speed
from the PHY restored traffic.
Wrap genphy_read_status() and use at803x_read_specific_status() to
replace its speed and duplex result when an autonegotiated link comes
up. Resolve pause for the resulting duplex. Until the PHY reports a
resolved speed and duplex, report the link as down so that the next
poll reads them again, as marvell_read_status_page_an() does.
QCA8337's register layout matches the helper (data sheet 80-Y0619-3
Rev. D, pages 327-328).
Keep the generic master/slave read order and the early return for a
steady autonegotiated link. This avoids additional reads of the
clear-on-read idle error count in MII_STAT1000. Forced mode continues
to use BMCR. Report the MDI-X state read at link-up and invalidate it
when the link goes down or autonegotiation is disabled. Clear
mdix_ctrl because this driver does not implement MDI-X configuration.

v4:
- Report the link as down while the PHY-specific status is unresolved
or holds the reserved speed value, as marvell_read_status_page_an()
does. v3 reported the link up with SPEED_UNKNOWN, and the early
return then kept it until the link dropped.
- Invalidate mdix when the link goes down or autonegotiation is
disabled, instead of keeping the value read at the last link-up.
- Rebased onto net 37f12441f557. The files involved are unchanged.
Both issues were raised in the Sashiko review of v3, which Jakub
forwarded.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20261006160316.1356-1-yongzhao.derek@gmail.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20261003173210.1235-1-yongzhao.derek@gmail.com/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260928220749.857-1-yongzhao.derek@gmail.com/
Testing: the source-extraction model passes 27 checks covering speed
and duplex at the phylib notification boundary, latch-low transitions,
pause, forced mode, MDIO errors, the idle-error and MSFAIL read order
from v3, and the two issues above. v3 fails exactly the four checks
for those two issues: an unresolved or reserved status at link-up,
and mdix after a link drop or with autonegotiation disabled. An arm64
W=1 build of qca83xx.o, at803x.o and qcom-phy-lib.o is clean.
v4 has not been tested on hardware. The hardware result above used
v2's at803x_read_status() plus genphy_read_master_slave() on one board,
with an Intel igb peer, a two-pair cable and default autonegotiation.
Ping changed from 0/20 to 20/20 in each direction at resolved 100 Full.
Whether QCA8337 can report link up before the resolved bit is set is
unknown.
