Subject: [PATCH net v4 1/2] net: ethernet: bgmac: preserve forced 2.5 Gbps link speed
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:15:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029211540.4123250-2-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029211540.4123250-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com>
Northstar and Northstar Plus use a 2.5 Gbps internal link between the
AMAC and the switch. BGMAC_FEAT_FORCE_SPEED_2500 makes bgmac_miiconfig()
configure that speed, but bgmac_adjust_link() subsequently replaces it
with the synthetic fixed PHY's 1 Gbps speed.
Use the forced speed when processing link changes so the MAC remains at
2.5 Gbps. Together with configuring the switch IMP port for its 2 Gbps
mode, this eliminates the output queue discards that caused approximately
1000 TCP retransmissions per second during an iperf3 transmit test.
Restrict the platform forced-speed flag to Northstar Plus using the SoC
compatible, since Hurricane2 shares the AMAC compatible. Other platform
AMACs without a phy-handle must continue following the fixed PHY speed.
The BCMA path already selects the flag only for the Northstar family.
