[PATCH net-next v2 0/7] net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: further serdes reorganisation

[PATCH net-next v2 0/7] net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: further serdes reorganisation

[Russell King (Oracle)]

This is part 2 of the qcom-ethqos series, part 1 and patch 2 of part 2
has now been merged.

This part of the series focuses on the generic PHY driver, but these
changes have dependencies on the ethernet driver, hence why
it will need to go via net-next. Furthermore, subsequent changes
depend on these patches.

The underlying ideas here are:

- get rid of the driver using phy_set_speed() with SPEED_1000 and
  SPEED_2500 which makes no sense for an ethernet SerDes due to the
  PCS 8B10B data encoding, which inflates the data rate at the SerDes
  compared to the MAC. This is replaced with phy_set_mode_ext().
- allow phy_power_on() / phy_set_mode*() to be called in any order.

Mohd has tested this series, although not in the resulting merge order.

Changes since resend2:
- Drop patch 2 as that is now applied
- Add Vinod's Acks, which were eventually sent in response to the first
  posting of this series.

[PATCH net-next v2 2/7] net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: convert to use phy_set_mode_ext()

[Russell King (Oracle)]

qcom-sgmii-eth now accepts the phy_set_mode*() calls to configure the
SerDes, taking a PHY interface mode rather than a speed. This allows
the elimination of the interface mode to speed conversion in
ethqos_mac_finish_serdes().

[PATCH net-next v2 3/7] phy: qcom-sgmii-eth: remove .set_speed() implementation

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Now that the qcom-ethqos driver has migrated to use phy_set_mode_ext()
rather than phy_set_speed() to configure the SerDes, the support for
phy_set_speed() is now obsolete. Remove support for this method.

Using the MAC speed for the SerDes is never correct due to the PCS
encoding. For SGMII and 2500BASE-X, the PCS uses 8B10B encoding, and
so:

  MAC rate * PCS output bits / PCS input bits = SerDes rate
   1000M   *       10        /       8        = 1250M
   2500M   *       10        /       8        = 3125M

[PATCH net-next v2 4/7] phy: qcom-sgmii-eth: use PHY interface mode for SerDes settings

[Russell King (Oracle)]

As established in the previous commit, using SPEED_1000 and SPEED_2500
does not make sense for a SerDes due to the PCS encoding that is used
over the SerDes link, which inflates the data rate at the SerDes. Thus,
the use of these constants in a SerDes driver is incorrect.

Since qcom-sgmii-eth no longer implements phy_set_speed(), but instead
uses the PHY interface mode passed via the .set_mode() method, convert
the driver to use the PHY interface mode internally to decide whether
to configure the SerDes for 1.25Gbps or 3.125Gbps mode.

[PATCH net-next v2 7/7] net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: remove phy_set_mode_ext() after phy_power_on()

[Russell King (Oracle)]

The call to phy_set_mode_ext() after phy_power_on() was a work-around
for the qcom-sgmii-eth SerDes driver that only re-enabled its clocks on
phy_power_on() but did not configure the PHY. Now that the SerDes driver
fully configures the SerDes at phy_power_on(), there is no need to call
phy_set_mode_ext() immediately afterwards.

This also means we no longer need to record the previous operating mode
of the driver - this is up to the SerDes driver. In any case, the only
thing that we care about is the SerDes provides the necessary clocks to
the stmmac core to allow it to reset at this point. The actual mode is
irrelevant at this point as the correct mode will be configured in
ethqos_mac_finish_serdes() just before the network device is brought
online.
