[PATCH v2 0/2] ARM: at91: remove phy fixup for sama5d3xek boards

[Boris BREZILLON]

Hello,

This patch removes a board specific hook for sama5d3xek boards from the
sama5d3 generic DT board file.

This hook (which register a phy fixup configuring board specific delays
in the ksz9021 ethernet phy) is now replaced by the appropriate DT
properties definitions in the sama5d3xcm.dtsi file.

Best Regards,

Boris

Changes since v1:
 - fix txc-skew-ps and rxc-skew-ps delays
 - remove phy address info to handle Ronetix and Embest HW designs

[PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: at91/dt: describe rgmii ethernet phy connected to sama5d3xek boards

[Boris BREZILLON]

Add ethernet-phy node and specify phy interrupt (connected to pin PB25).

The PHY address is not specified here because atmel have 2 different
designs
for its CPU modules: one is connecting PHYAD[0-2] pins to pull up resistors
(Embest design) and the other one is connection PHYAD0 to a pull up
resistor and PHYAD[1-2] to pull down resistors (Ronetix design).
As a result, Ronetix design will have its PHY available at address 0x1 and
Embest design at 0x7.
Let the net PHY core automatically detect the PHY address by scanning the
MDIO bus.

Define board specific delays to apply to RGMII signals.

I though the compatible string was listed as a required property, but
it is not. The 'reg' property however is listed as required, although
the of_miodbus_register() works just fine without it, although that is
a Linux-specific implementation detail.

Indeed, it's listed in the required property list of the DT binding doc,
but the code implement auto detection if reg is missing.
However this line [1] clearly shows that specifying the reg property is
the preferred way of doing things.

I could define 2 different sama5d3xcm.dtsi (sama5d3xcm-ronetix.dtsi and
sama5d3xcm-embest.dtsi) to avoid this dirty hack,
but then we would have 2 more dtb and the user would have to determine
which CPU module he owns to choose the appropriate dtb.
If at91, arm-soc and DT maintainers agree with this approach I can
definitely propose something.

Yes Boris, I definitively prefer not to add another .dtsi file for this
series if we can avoid it.

So, I would push for this "reg-less" solution. If it is chosen, you can
add my:

I am fine with using dev_dbg() instead of dev_info() for that sort of
messages, provided that you state the rationale of this change
(spewing the log console with probing messages) and specify tha the
'reg' property is optional.

One advantage of that solution is that you'll get slightly faster boot
times since you won't have to auto-probe for the PHYs on the MDIO bus,
the time savings get bigger as you start using higher PHY addresses.

Yes I prefer this solution too, but is it acceptable to define 2 phy
nodes even if only one is really available ?

One or the other machine .dts should have to set the status property
accordingly so there is only effectively one PHY declared, assuming
this is possible based on your .dtsi layout? If not, provided by the
phy-handle properties are correct, I can't see any problem with having
an unused PHY specified in DT.

This is exactly what Nicolas wants to avoid (duplication of dts files
to handle Embest and Ronetix designs).

Okay, then I'll go for that solution.

[PATCH v2 2/2] ARM: at91: remove phy fixup for sama5d3xek boards

[Boris BREZILLON]

These board specific delays are now configured through micrel's specific
DT bindings (see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/micrel-ksz9021.txt).

Remove this phy fixup registration from sama5 DT machine file to keep it
as generic as possible.

These patches do not apply cleanly to 'net' nor 'net-next', in fact
you did not even say which tree these changes are targetting.

Please respin these patches and explicitly say what tree you wish
them to be applied to.

Thanks.

Actually, these patches were intended to be taken through at91 (and then
arm-soc) tree.

The reason I added netdev in Cc is because I wanted to get feedback on
the DT phy node definition (which I got from Florian).

I guess patch 2 does not apply cleanly because I based this work on top
of other changes which are not merged yet ([1]).

Nicolas, I'll take care to rebase this series on top of linus/master
branch (or whatever branch you want me to base it onto).

Thanks,

Boris

Hello Bo,

I know you're quite busy, but if you have some time could you test this
series on both CPU Modules (Embest and Ronetix): I only own the Embest
one.

Best Regards,

Boris

For this series, test OK on sama5d33ek (Ronetix) and sama5d34ek (Embest).
