[PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: dts: sophgo: Milk-V Duo 256M ethernet support

[Chen-Yu Yeh]

The Milk-V Duo 256M has no Ethernet connector of its own; the SG2002's
internal PHY is only usable through the optional USB & Ethernet IO
board. This series adds an overlay for that board and fixes the name of
the internal PHY node it exposes.

Changes in v2:
 - Enable Ethernet through an overlay instead of in the board
   devicetree, since without the IO board the pins may be used as GPIO
   (Inochi)
 - Send both patches in one thread (Inochi)
 - Test link-up and traffic on the IO board, which v1 could not
 - Collect Inochi's Reviewed-by on the PHY node name fix

The overlay has the same shape as Hiago's for the Milk-V Duo [1], so the
two boards stay consistent. The PHY node name fix is in cv180x.dtsi and
so covers that board as well.

Testing, with a kernel built from this branch:

 - sg2002-milkv-duo256m-eth.dtb: eth0 comes up at 100Mbps/Full, gets an
   address via DHCP and passes traffic
 - sg2002-milkv-duo256m.dtb: no eth0 is created, and the gmac node
   reads back as disabled
   
Kernel log with sg2002-milkv-duo256m-eth.dtb:

      inet 192.168.0.47/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth0

With the base sg2002-milkv-duo256m.dtb:

  # ip addr show eth0
  ip: can't find device 'eth0'
  # cat /proc/device-tree/soc/ethernet@4070000/status
  disabled

iperf3 against a desktop on the same switch gives 94 Mbit/s with the
board sending and 70-74 Mbit/s with it receiving, with no
retransmissions either way. The receive side being slower is not a CPU
limit on the board; I have not looked into it further yet.

[PATCH v2 1/2] riscv: dts: sophgo: add Milk-V Duo 256M ethernet support overlay

[Chen-Yu Yeh]

The SG2002 has an internal 10/100 Ethernet PHY, but on the Milk-V Duo
256M the Ethernet signals only reach the RJ45 connector on the optional
USB & Ethernet IO board. The MAC (gmac0) and the MDIO multiplexer used
to reach the internal PHY are already described in cv180x.dtsi but are
disabled, and they cannot be enabled in the board devicetree because
without the IO board the same pins may be used as GPIO.

Add an overlay that enables them.

Tested on Milk-V Duo 256M with the USB & Ethernet IO board: the link
comes up at 100Mbps/Full, the interface gets an address via DHCP and
passes traffic in both directions. Without the overlay, eth0 does not
appear.

[PATCH v2 2/2] riscv: dts: sophgo: cv180x: Fix internal ephy node name

[Chen-Yu Yeh]

The internal EPHY node is named "phy@0" while its reg property is <1>.
The unit-address should match the first entry of the reg property, but
this is not checked by dtc for MDIO buses. The kernel confirms the PHY
is indeed at address 1:

  eth0: PHY [mdio_mux-0.0:01] driver [Generic PHY]

Rename the node to ethernet-phy@1, which also follows the common naming
convention for ethernet PHY nodes.

Fixes: ba1abacc57cb ("riscv: dts: sophgo: Add mdio multiplexer device for cv18xx")

My only comment here is that I belive you should remove the newline
between "Fixes" and the "Reviewed-by".
