No, it's much more involved than that, there are several modes in which MDIO on stmmac can be instantiated: - platform data instantiation, which uses a loop and finds the first available address - Device Tree which will scan the MDIO bus' node child nodes and create PHYs for valid nodes It feels a bit late to check for PHY address >= 4 during the first read, because it won't be obvious to somehow why this fails, but if that fulfills your needs, keep it that way. > >> >>>>> + /* Wait until any existing MII operation is complete */ >>>>> + if (readl_poll_timeout(priv->ioaddr + mii_data, tmp, >>>>> + !(tmp & MII_XGMAC_BUSY), 100, 10000)) >>>>> + return -EBUSY; >>>>> + >>>>> + /* Set port as Clause 22 */ >>>>> + tmp = readl(priv->ioaddr + XGMAC_MDIO_C22P); >>>>> + tmp |= BIT(phyaddr); >>>> Since the registers are being Read/Modify/Write here, don't you need >>> to >>>> clear the previous address bits as well? >>>> >>>> You probably did not encounter any problems in your testing if you >>> had >>>> only one PHY on the MDIO bus, but this is not something that is >>>> necessarily true, e.g: if you have an Ethernet switch, several MDIO >>> bus >>>> addresses are going to be responding. >>>> >>>> Your MDIO bus implementation must be able to support one transaction >>>> with one PHY address and the next transaction with another PHY >>> address , >>>> etc... >>>> >>>> That is something that should be easy to fix and be resubmitted as >>> part >>>> of v4. >>> I'm not following you here...

So here for instance if you needed to support a C45 transaction you would have to clear that bit for that particular PHY address. Since you don't appear to support those yet then yes the code appears fine though it would not hurt if you did clear all other PHY's c22 bits to make it clear what this does. > > I can't test C45 right now but I will in a near future.

We are really talking about adding something like: reg &= ~(MASK); before setting the bit, anyhow, if you want to do that later on when you add C45 support, be my guest... -- Florian
