Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/3] net: dsa: qca8k: do not clear MASTER_EN after a failed page select
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 00:06:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928220629.238-3-yongzhao.derek@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928220629.238-1-yongzhao.derek@gmail.com>
qca8k_mdio_write() and qca8k_mdio_read() take the common exit path when
selecting the page of QCA8K_MDIO_MASTER_CTRL fails. That path clears
MASTER_CTRL[31:16] with a raw write to phy 0x10, reg 0x1f, which only
addresses MASTER_CTRL while page 0 is selected. After a failed page
select the switch is still on the previous page, so the write can clear
the upper half of an unrelated register at page * 0x200 + 0x3c.
No MDIO master transaction has been started at that point, so there is
nothing to clean up. Unlock and return the error directly.
qca8k_set_page() also keeps the old cached page when the page write
fails. If the write did reach the switch, a later access to the cached
page skips the page select and reaches the wrong register. Invalidate
the cache on failure so that the next access selects the page again.
Fixes: 759bafb8a322 ("net: dsa: qca8k: add support for internal phy and internal mdio")
Fixes: ba5707ec58cf ("net: dsa: qca8k: handle qca8k_set_page errors")
