Subject: [PATCH net-next v8 00/11] r8152: refactor and extend RTL8157/8159 support
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 11:24:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110032416.16968-1-nic_swsd@realtek.com> (raw)
RTL8157 and RTL8159 have different init, enable, up/down, hw_phy_cfg,
and PHY access sequences from RTL8156. This series first fixes the
up/down, unload, change_mtu and flow control settings that these chips
shared with RTL8156 but need to be different, then separates the shared
callbacks by chip generation and adds the missing RTL8157/RTL8159
functionality: TGPHY register access via phy_read/phy_write pointers in
struct rtl_ops, and UPS support via r8157_ups_en().
v8:
- Move the fixes to the front of the series, so that they can be
backported without the refactoring, and add Fixes tags:
- Patch #1 (was v7 #5): fix up and down register settings, now
applied to the shared rtl8156_up()/rtl8156_down() before they are
split.
- Patch #2 and #3 (were v7 #7): split rtl8157_unload() and
rtl8157_change_mtu() into separate patches. Reword the commit
messages.
- Patch #4 (was v7 #9): fix flow control for
RTL8156/RTL8156B/RTL8157/RTL8159. It is now applied to the shared
rtl8156_init() and rtl8156_enable(), and goes ahead of the
refactoring. Rework the commit message: describe what was missing
on each chip, and note that the 500 and 1250 Mbit/s rates the
hardware can report disarm the pause limit.
- Patch #5 (was v7 #1): the RTL8156B-only part of r8156_init() is now
the AUTO_SPEEDUP clear, as the flow control setup moved to patch #4.
Update the commit message.
- Patch #6 (was v7 #2): RTL_VER_12 no longer gets
r8156b_u2phy_backup().
- Patch #7 (was v7 #3): rebase on the new order, with the VER_17 cases
in rtl_fc_pause_pkt_en(), rtl8156_up() and rtl8156_down() split into
QFN68 and QFN100.
- Patch #8 (was v7 #4): rebase on the new order. The register fixes
and rtl8157_change_mtu() now come from patches #1 to #3, so this
patch is a pure split with no functional change intended. Add
rtl8156b_enable() for RTL8156B (VER_12/13/15), so that
rtl8156_enable() serves RTL8156 only and neither needs version
checks.
- Patch #9 (was v7 #6): rebase on the new order.
- Patch #10 (was v7 #8):
- Log a TGPHY busy timeout ratelimited, so that a stuck busy bit does
not flood the log.
- Propagate the PHY access failure also in
rtl8152_get_link_ksettings(), r8153_get_eee() and
r8152_mdio_read(), and stop on a failed read in rtl8153_in_nway(),
r8156_mdio_force_mode(), r8156_eee_en() and rtl8152_fw_phy_fixup().
- rtl8152_get_pauseparam() reports no flow control, and
r8153_phy_status() keeps polling, when a read fails.
- rtl8152_set_speed() leaves the cached advertising and a pending PHY
reset untouched when a write fails.
- read_mii_word() reports a failed read as 0, as the MII library
takes the return value for register content.
- rtl_phy_patch_request() returns the errno of a failed write and
releases PATCH_REQUEST when a later step fails.
- Rewrite the commit message and list what is left to a follow-up
series.
- Patch #11 (was v7 #10): in r8157_ups_en(), stop waiting for the
backup restore, and return, as soon as the device is marked
RTL8152_INACCESSIBLE.
v7:
- Patch #1: split r8156_init() by chip generation rather than per
chip. RTL8156 and RTL8156B share r8156_init(), and RTL8157 and
RTL8159 share r8157_init(), since their sequences are near-identical.
The few differences are selected with switch (tp->version).
r8156b_init() and r8159_init() are gone.
- Patch #2: apply the new init writes to the merged r8156_init() and
r8157_init().
- Patch #3:
- The RTL8159 QFN68/QFN100 differences become cases of the version
switches in r8157_init(), and the QFN68-only u2phy backup restore
write falls through to the common u3phy backup write.
- Report the number of retries (i - 1) in the "Needed %d retries to
read package" warning.
- Update the commit message.
- Patch #4:
- Share the exit-OOB and enter-OOB sequences of RTL8156, RTL8156B,
RTL8157 and RTL8159 through r8156_exit_oob() and r8156_enter_oob(),
as RTL8152B and RTL8153 do.
- Serve RTL8156 and RTL8156B (VER_10/11/12/13/15) with a single
rtl8156_enable() instead of adding rtl8156b_enable(). The
r8156_fc_parameter() call stays behind a version check, so it is
no longer dropped.
- Retitle and update the commit message.
- Patch #5: adapt to the shared r8156_exit_oob() and r8156_enter_oob().
Update the commit message.
- Patch #7: r8156_exit_oob() now calls tp->rtl_ops.change_mtu() instead
of rtl8156_change_mtu(), so that rtl8157_up() gets
rtl8157_change_mtu(). Update the commit message.
- Patch #9: apply rtl_fc_pause_pkt_en() in the merged r8156_init().
AUTO_SPEEDUP is still cleared there for RTL8156B only. Update the
commit message.
- Patch #10: replace r8156_ups_en() with r8157_ups_en() in the merged
r8157_init() only. Update the commit message.
v6:
- Patch #1: make it a pure split of r8156_init() per chip, plus the
wait_autoload_done() helper, with no functional change. The new
init writes it used to carry move to patch #2. Also convert
r8152b_init() to wait_autoload_done().
- Patch #2 (new): add the new init writes for RTL8156B/8157/8159,
taken out of patch #1.
- Patch #3:
- Fix the "Needed %d retries" warning in __rtl_get_pkg_det() to
trigger only when a retry was actually needed (i != 1).
- Reword the commit message.
- Patch #6:
- r8159_hw_phy_cfg() ends with rtl_eee_enable(tp, tp->eee_en) so
that the configured state is applied in both directions.
- Reword the commit message.
- Patch #8:
- A TGPHY busy timeout no longer sets RTL8152_INACCESSIBLE.
wait_tgphy_cmd_ready() logs and returns the poll error, as the
ADV command channel does, and returns -ENODEV only if the device
is already marked inaccessible.
- Drop the RTL8152_INACCESSIBLE exceptions from the LAN_ON
WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in hw_phy_cfg, which are no longer needed.
- Narrow the commit message to what the patch does and list what is
left to a follow-up series: the remaining callers, the MII library
callbacks, and the recovery from a TGPHY timeout.
- Patch #9:
- Explain the symptom, that RTL8157/RTL8159 could keep sending pause
frames indefinitely, and add Fixes tags for RTL8156, RTL8157 and
RTL8159.
- Keep the FC patch in r8156b_init() split from the AUTO_SPEEDUP
clearing, and call rtl_fc_pause_pkt_en() right before it.
- Patch #10: note in the commit message that a backup-restore timeout
in r8157_ups_en() follows what r8159_init() does for the same wait
(mark the device inaccessible and log, without queuing a reset), and
that recovery is left to a follow-up series.
v5:
- Patch #1: in r8157_init()/r8159_init(), call
r8156b_wait_loading_flash() before wait_autoload_done(). Document
in the commit message that the "Bulk In End" bit is cleared in
r8157_init(), and drop the claim about the FC-timer block.
- Patch #2: accept the package read only if the full word was returned,
warn when a retry was needed, and print an unknown package as
0x%04x. Say "firmware" instead of "PHY tuning" in the commit
message.
- Patch #3: make it a pure split with no functional change. Its
register fixes move to the new patch #4.
- Patch #4 (new): fix up and down register settings for
RTL8156/8156B/8157/8159.
- Patch #5: document the new RTL8159 PHY tuning parameters in the
commit message.
- Patch #6: add Fixes tags.
- Patch #7:
- A TGPHY busy timeout now sets RTL8152_INACCESSIBLE and returns
-ENODEV.
- sram_write() returns the data-write result.
- The PHY firmware version checks, the BMCR reset poll,
rtl8152_set_speed(), the pause parameters and the PHY patch
handshake handle PHY access failures.
- SIOCGMIIREG returns 0 with val_out set on success, or the error.
- Commit message rewritten.
- Patch #8: drop the "no link" case, since the caller checks the link.
An unknown speed now disarms the pause limit. Commit message
rewritten.
- Patch #9: wait for the backup-restore flag with a timeout in
r8157_ups_en(). Rename USB_FW_USE_VER to USB_FW_USB_VER.
v4:
- Patch #1: make wait_autoload_done() bail out immediately on
RTL8152_INACCESSIBLE instead of waiting out the full 10 second
timeout.
- Patch #6: propagate PHY access failures instead of ignoring them.
ocp_reg_read()/ocp_reg_write() and every helper built on top of them
(sram_read/write, sram2_read/write, the ocp_reg_*_bits and MDIO bit
helpers) now return int and stop silently operating on stale data
when a TGPHY access times out.
v3:
Rebase on top of latest net-next to resolve merge conflicts.
v2:
- For patch #1, use read_poll_timeout() to replace the manual
for-loop polling.
- For patch #2 and #3, rewrite the commit message.
