Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: stmmac: request the MDIO reset GPIO only once
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 13:47:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920054703.1897755-1-xiaolinkui@126.com> (raw)
From: Linkui Xiao <xiaolinkui@kylinos.cn>
stmmac_mdio_reset() calls devm_gpiod_get_optional() every time it runs.
A GPIO line can only be requested once, so from the second call on
gpiod_request_commit() returns -EBUSY. devm_gpiod_get_optional() only
turns -ENOENT into NULL, hence the error is passed straight back and
stmmac_mdio_reset() bails out before pulsing "snps,reset" and before
running the STE101P MDC workaround.
The first call, made by of_mdiobus_register(), succeeds, so the failure
is only visible later on: every resume that does not use WoL goes
through stmmac_resume() -> stmmac_mdio_reset(), and that caller ignores
the return value, so the PHY silently stays un-reset.
The descriptor used to be requested exactly once: stmmac_mdio_reset()
resolved "snps,reset-gpio" itself and cached the GPIO number in
stmmac_mdio_bus_data::reset_gpio, and commit ae26c1c6cb9b ("stmmac: fix
PHY reset during resume") relies on that cache to reuse the line on
every call. commit 7c86f20d15b7 ("net: stmmac: use GPIO descriptors in
stmmac_mdio_reset") replaced it with a devm_gpiod_get_optional() that
caches nothing, so the request is repeated on every call and fails from
the second one on.
Request the GPIO in stmmac_mdio_register(), at probe time, and keep the
descriptor in struct stmmac_priv. This is where devm-gpiod is meant to be
used: the line is acquired with the device and released with it, and any
failure to acquire it is reported during probe instead of being ignored
by stmmac_resume(). stmmac_mdio_reset() then only pulses the cached line.
The request is still gated on mdio_bus_data->needs_reset, which is the
condition that installs the reset callback, and on the device using DT,
as the reset itself is.

Changes in v2:
- Do not request the GPIO from stmmac_mdio_reset(); request it once in
stmmac_mdio_register() at probe time instead. (Maxime Chevallier)
