Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: sparx5: start the TOD counters on non-PTP lan969x variants
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2026 22:28:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005052826.14251-1-quentin@q-lab.dev> (raw)
Currently the base non-PTP-capable lan969x variants don't forward any
Ethernet frames:
$ ip link set eth10 up
$ ip addr add 10.0.0.54/24 dev eth10
$ ping 10.0.0.1
PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep fdma
20: 0 GIC-0 120 Level sparx5-fdma
$ ip -s link show dev eth10
RX: bytes packets errors dropped missed mcast
20828 102 0 0 0 72
TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
0 0 0 0 0 0
Testing showed that starting the domain 0 TOD counter gets networking
working again, but start all three for consistency with the PTP variants.
Fixes: 207966787b71 ("net: sparx5: add feature support")
Suggested-by: Daniel Machon <daniel.machon@microchip.com>
Signed-off-by: Quentin Freimanis <quentin@q-lab.dev>

Changes in v2:
- Drop the TOD start helper and start all three counters (Daniel)
- Fix capitalization in comment explaining why non-PTP parts
need the TOD counters running (Daniel)
- Add test log showing user impact
