Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 1/3] net: phy: MII-Lite PHY interface mode
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 18:34:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250625163453.2567869-2-kamilh@axis.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250625163453.2567869-1-kamilh@axis.com>

From: Kamil Horák (2N) <kamilh@axis.com>

Some Broadcom PHYs are capable to operate in simplified MII mode,
without TXER, RXER, CRS and COL signals as defined for the MII.
The MII-Lite mode can be used on most Ethernet controllers with full
MII interface by just leaving the input signals (RXER, CRS, COL)
inactive. The absence of COL signal makes half-duplex link modes
impossible but does not interfere with BroadR-Reach link modes on
Broadcom PHYs, because they are all full-duplex only.

Add MII-Lite interface mode, especially for Broadcom two-wire PHYs.
Add MII-Lite activation for bcm5481x PHYs.
