[PATCH net-next v3 0/5] net: phy: Add Maxio MAE0621A support

[PATCH net-next v3 0/5] net: phy: Add Maxio MAE0621A support

[Andre Przywara]

The MAXIO MAE0621A [1] is a Gigabit Ethernet PHY. It appears on low priced
development boards and other devices like TV boxes. This series adds
support for this PHY, altough we (for now) only use some special clock
setup beyond the standard clause 22 functionality.
There appear to be two variants of this PHY, labelled with a -Q2C or -Q3C
suffix. There seem to be more differences than a mere revision bump would
suggest, and vendor drivers [2] seem to treat them differently. For the
features that this driver uses at the moment, they are the same, but
prepare for future divergence by declaring two drivers, using the same
functions, for now. This is added in the second part, along with support
for enabling the PHY clock explicitly described in the DT.

This series merges Liu Changjie's original PHY driver series[3] with
my additions to support the -Q2C variant[4]. I split off my last two
patches that were adding the DT description for a TV Box using this PHY
and the input clock provided by a fanout clock pin for now.

Original cover letter:
=============================
Add a binding and PHY driver for the Maxio MAE0621A Gigabit Ethernet
PHY. The driver matches the exact PHY ID and optionally selects a
125 MHz clock on CLKOUT. When the property is absent, the driver
preserves the hardware strap or bootloader setting.

This was tested on the LCKFB Taishan Pi 3M. With the PHY's default
CLKOUT configuration, the RK3576 GMAC negotiated a 1 Gbit/s link but
the data path did not work. A read-modify-write of page 0xa43,
register 0x19, setting bits 0 and 11 produced a readback value of
0x0823 and restored the data path without changing the RGMII delays.
The readback also confirmed that the unrelated set bits were
preserved.

Only the 125 MHz setting has been exercised on hardware and only that
value is exposed by this series. The 0 and 25 MHz choices from the
initial draft have been removed.

Public documentation for the MAE0621A register is not available. The
exact definitions of page 0xa43, register 0x19 bits 0 and 11, their
reset defaults, and whether a soft reset is required after changing
them still need confirmation from Maxio. The register programming in
this series is therefore supported by the hardware A/B result, not by
a public datasheet citation.

Hardware tests with the 125 MHz setting:
- all supported 10/100/1000 Mbit/s link modes
- 100 ICMP packets in each direction with no loss
- 936/934 Mbit/s host-to-board iperf3, no retransmits
- 943/941 Mbit/s board-to-host iperf3, no retransmits
- link unplug/replug and a normal reboot, followed by another 100 ICMP
  packets in each direction with no loss
- no RX errors, missed packets, carrier errors or collisions

Static tests on net-next commit f6f3b36c15ed:
- dt_binding_check with dtschema 2026.6
- W=1 arm64 defconfig build of drivers/net/phy/maxio.o with GCC 10.3
- W=1 arm64 allmodconfig build of drivers/net/phy/maxio.o with GCC 10.3
- git diff --check and checkpatch.pl

Based on v7.3-rc1.

Please have a look and test!

Cheers,
Andre

Changes in v3:
- add patches for -Q2C variant support
- add second PHY ID into the DT binding
- support -Q2C variant using a separate driver
- reorder error handling code to return on error first

Changes in v2:
- Extend hardware validation to all supported 10/100/1000 Mbit/s link
  modes.
- Keep the binding limited to the tested 125 MHz setting. CLKOUT-disable
  support can be added later after its register behavior is documented
  and tested.
- No binding or driver code changes.

[PATCH net-next v3 1/5] dt-bindings: net: Add Maxio MAE0621A PHY

[Andre Przywara]

From: Liu Changjie <liucj1228@outlook.com>

Document the MAE0621A PHY IDs (for the -Q2C and -Q3C variants) and their
optional 125 MHz CLKOUT setting. Boards which do not provide the property
retain the hardware strap or bootloader configuration.

Only the 125 MHz setting is exposed because it is the only setting
exercised on hardware.

I sent a follow up email saying i was withdrawing this
Reviewed-by. Please ensure it has been dropped for the moment.

pw-bot: cr

This is an RGMII PHY. However it totally ignores phydev->interface.
There are four values which we require the PHY driver to act on:

	PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII,
	PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID,
	PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID,
	PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID,

Every other RGMII PHY in linux will configure the delays based on
these values. If these values are ignored, bad things will happen.

From what i understand, the delays are currently configured by
strapping. We are going to get into situations where the strapping and
what the MAC requests are different but no errors are reported.  DT
developers are already bad with RGMII delays, and this is just going
to make it worse.

So you have some choices:

1) Implement configuring the delays in the PHY driver

2) Find out how the delays are currently configured and return
   EOPNOTSUPP if the requested configuration is different to the
   current configuration.

3) Always return EOPNOTSUPP for all the RGMII values, and only accept
   PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, which means configuration has been performed
   using some other mechanism, the PHY driver should not change it.

Additionally, my understanding is this PHY will respond to address 0
as a broadcast address. This is not part of 802.3, and always causes
issues. Please ensure this is turned off.

[PATCH net-next v3 3/5] net: phy: maxio: prepare for more DT properties

[Andre Przywara]

The probe routine for the Maxio PHY returns early if the optional
maxio,clk-out-frequency-hz property is not found. That prevents looking
for other properties.

Refactor the routine to handle the property in an if-clause, to allow
more actions in the probe routine later.

[PATCH net-next v3 4/5] net: phy: maxio: parse and enable PHY clock from generic DT binding

[Andre Przywara]

The generic PHY DT binding features a clocks property, which describes
the clock input to the PHY. Typically this is a crystal oscillator, so
it works without software interaction. But some boards want to save some
pennies on that part, and let a clock fanout pin from the SoC provide this
clock signal. In this case the PHY probe routine needs to enable this
clock explicitly.

Look for a "clocks" property inside the PHY node and enable that clock,
if one is provided.

This allows boards with a SoC-driven PHY clock to use the PHY. Please
note that without the clock enabled, the PHY will not be detected on the
MDIO bus, so the PHY-ID needs to be explicitly named in the PHY
compatible string:
	compatible = "ethernet-phy-id7b74.4411";

Since clk is not referenced anywhere after this, there is no need to
save it in priv.

[PATCH net-next v3 5/5] net: phy: maxio: add support for -Q2C variant

[Andre Przywara]

Currently the maxio Ethernet PHY driver expects a Maxio MAE0621A-Q3C PHY
matching exactly the one ID provided: 0x7b744412. There exist an earlier
variant of the PHY, still used on some devices, its label differs by using
the -Q2C suffix, and its PHY ID is 0x7b744411.

Some vendor drivers floating around in the web suggest they are somewhat
different, although for now this driver does not deal with any of those
registers, and the 125M clock switch is identical between the two.
Nevertheless prepare for future driver divergence by describing two
drivers, although using the same functions for now.
