[PATCH RFC net-next+previous 0/9] net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: further updates

[Russell King (Oracle)]

This is part 2 of the qcom-ethqos series, building on the previous
series which can be found at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aY0aJppQWUC52OUq@shell.armlinux.org.uk

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.
- allow phy_power_on() / phy_set_mode*() to be called in any order.

I've included the set_clk_tx_rate() patch as that was tested, which
would make applying this series awkward to apply without it.

Mohd, please could you test this series - I'm hoping it will pass with
flying colours as there should be no change to the order in which we
program the hardware. Thanks.

[PATCH RFC net-next+ 1/9] net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: convert to set_clk_tx_rate() method

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Set the RGMII link clock using the set_clk_tx_rate() method rather than
coding it into the .fix_mac_speed() method. This simplifies ethqos's
ethqos_fix_mac_speed().

[PATCH RFC net-next+ 3/9] phy: qcom-sgmii-eth: add .set_mode() and .validate() methods

[Russell King (Oracle)]

qcom-sgmii-eth is an Ethernet SerDes supporting only Ethernet mode
using SGMII, 1000BASE-X and 2500BASE-X.

Add an implementation of the .set_mode() method, which can be used
instead of or as well as the .set_speed() method. The Ethernet
interface modes mentioned above all have a fixed data rate, so
setting the mode is sufficient to fully specify the operating
parameters.

Add an implementation of the .validate() method, which will be
necessary to allow discovery of the SerDes capabilities for platform
independent SerDes support in the stmmac network driver.

[PATCH RFC net-next+ 5/9] 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 RFC net-next+ 6/9] 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.

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Now that qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_interface() only serves to validate the
passed interface mode, combine it with qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_validate(),
and use qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_validate() to validate the mode in
qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_set_mode().

[Russell King (Oracle)]

Allow any order of the .power_on() and .set_mode*() methods as per the
recent discussion. This means phy_power_on() with this SerDes will now
restore the previous setup without requiring a subsequent
phy_set_mode*() call.

[PATCH RFC net-next+ 9/9] 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.
