[PATCH net-next v1 0/6] add support for phylink

[javen]

From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>

This series patch adds support for phylink. RTL8116af is a fiber mode
card, link status and speed can not be read from standard phy reg. So
we read link status and speed from serdes reg by pcs. We have not changed
the loading process of RTL8127atf.

Javen Xu (6):
  r8169: add current_speed in private struct
  r8169: add support for phylink
  r8169: decoupling tp->phydev
  r8169: add support for RTL8116af
  r8169: add ltr support for RTL8116af
  r8169: fix RTL8116af can not enter s0idle and c10

Maybe just speed? The code would then be more consistent?

[PATCH net-next v1 2/6] r8169: add support for phylink

[javen]

From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>

Transfer old framework to phylink. Phylink can support fiber mode card
which can not get link status or link speed from standard phy registers.

This is a good start, but you need to go deeper than that. Looking at the
end result, you still access tp->phydev a lot in this driver :

Looking at r8169_mdio_register() for example :

 -> don't configure the PHY eee support with phy_support_eee() and
    phy_disable_eee_mode(), let phylink to that for you

All over the driver, there's still a lot of manual control of the PHY
with phylib, look at the calls for phy_init_hw(), phy_resume(), and so on,
you need to assume that with phylink you may not have a PHY.

The problem then is that there are places in the code where PHY registers
are directly accessed :

static void rtl8169_init_phy(struct rtl8169_private *tp)
{
[...]

	if (tp->mac_version == RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_05 &&
	    tp->pci_dev->subsystem_vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_GIGABYTE &&
	    tp->pci_dev->subsystem_device == 0xe000)
		phy_write_paged(tp->phydev, 0x0001, 0x10, 0xf01b);
[...]
	genphy_soft_reset(tp->phydev);
}

In the end, you shouldn't even need to use tp->phydev at all.

It's hard to know what this is all about, but it seems like something
a PHY driver should have to do, not a MAC driver :(

Also, I'd merge the next commit with this one to have one single commit
doing the phylink conversion.

Hi Maxime,

I have one question about the existing link-change interrupt model.

For most r8169 chips, the PHY exists and the current driver uses the MAC LinkChg interrupt to notify phylib:
        if (status & LinkChg)
                phy_mac_interrupt(tp->phydev);

After converting the driver to phylink, my understanding is that the MAC driver should avoid keeping a private tp->phydev pointer. The PHY can still be found during setup and passed to phylink_connect_phy(), but then I am not sure how the MAC-routed PHY interrupt should be handled.

Would switching the internal PHY to PHY_POLL be acceptable , or would you prefer to keep the existing interrupt-driven behaviour? If the latter, what would be the preferred way to notify phylib without storing tp->phydev in the driver?

I also have a related question about the existing firmware handling and sw_cnt_1ms_ini logic. Some of this code touches MAC MMIO registers, so it does not seem suitable to move it entirely into the Realtek PHY driver. The current code uses tp->phydev in this area.

What would be the preferred phylink-compatible way to handle this? Should the driver still keep the tp->phydev, or is there another recommended approach?

This is the first time there's an attempt to port a driver that
typically deals with an embedded PHY to phylink, so we need to
sort this out.

The main issue is that this assumes the phy device is an integrated
PHY. But what if the PHY isn't integrated and can deal itself with the
interrupt ? or there's just no PHY ?

I think we could imagine adding a phylink helper that would call
phy_mac_interrupt(pl->phydev), however we need to make sure that
this is only done when the MAC is handling the interrupt on behalf
of the integrated PHY, and not any PHY.

I think we need to address this instead of falling to POLL :)

I'll continue looking at this deeper in the upcoming days :)

Well, mv88e6xxx has something similar, for its embedded PHYs. For
that, we export the interrupt controller as a linux interrupt
controller. We then allow two different things:

1) The PHY has a phandle to the interrupt. That causes phylib to
request the interrupt.

2) The interrupt controller code fills mdiobus->irq[addr] with the
interrupt number, so that phylib will request the interrupt.

This is not correct. You should implement .mac_disable_tx_lpi and
.mac_enable_tx_lpi in phylink_mac_ops.

[PATCH net-next v1 3/6] r8169: decoupling tp->phydev

[javen]

From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>

Some functions in ethtool are bound to tp->phydev. But in phylink, we
should replace it with functions which are bound to to->phylink.

[PATCH net-next v1 4/6] r8169: add support for RTL8116af

[javen]

From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>

RTL8116af is sfp mode. Phylink uses pcs to get the link status and speed
from its serdes reg, instead of standard phy reg. Also, RTL8116af doesn't
have internal phy, so we add some checks to ensure that tp->phydev is
not empty when we need it.

0xdc00 is a package-detect field. 0xd006 is internal HW id. RTL8116AF shares the same RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_52 mac_version with other variants.

This is after firmware application. And PHY_MDIO_CHG opcode switches the access callbacks between PHY and MAC accessors.
data == 0: phy_read/phy_write
data != 0: mac_mcu_read/mac_mcu_write
So the firmware may contain mixed PHY and MAC.

It reads a counter from PHY, but the calculated value is programmed into MAC OCP register via r8168_mac_ocp_modify, which accesses r8169 through tp->mmio_addr. So I think this can not be moved.

Normally, the MAC does not touch the PHY, it only calls phylib/phylink
API methods. If standard MII interfaces are used, you can connect any
MAC to any PHY.

If it is all integrated into silicon, then there is no choice, you
know the MAC/PHY relationship. However, it is still good practice to
keep MAC code in the MAC driver and PHY code in the PHY driver.

Can firmware programming be moved into the PHY driver?

For our PCIe nics, they are single chips. r8169 driver is for the entire integrated chip. Some internal phy shared the same PHY id, but the required PHY parameters differ depending on the specific MAC/Chip it is integrated with. So I think firmware here can not be moved.

UPS mode TX-link-pulse timing calibration. We read rg_saw_cnt from the GPHY page 0x0C42, register 0x13. This value is the SAW calibration result burned during mass production. If rg_saw_cnt == 0, it means the MP did not burn the calibration result, so we do nothing. If calibrated (rg_saw_cnt > 0), we calculate the 1ms timer counter: sw_cnt_1ms_ini = (16000000 / rg_saw_cnt). And then write it into the MAC OCP register (0xD412). This requires reading a hardware-specific value from the PHY to configure a timer register in the MAC. So I think it can not be moved too.

How do you recommend handling this kind of SoC-specific tight coupling within the phylink framework? Is it acceptable to retain a local phydev pointer in the MAC driver solely for these hardware-specific initialization quirks, or is there a preferred approach for single-chip devices?

Any guidance for the migration would be greatly appreciated!

Can you tell them part only using PHY registers? It is a bad design if
you cannot. You can populate the .match_phy_device call with a
function which can peak into registers to determine if the hardware
matches the entry in the PHY driver list.

Step one is to not tightly couple hardware like this when you design
it. It just causes problems when you need to make layering violations.

However, the hardware is designed like this, so you have to live with
it. At least for this generation. I hope the next generation is better
designed.

So yes, you can reference the phydev.

[PATCH net-next v1 5/6] r8169: add ltr support for RTL8116af

[javen]

From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>

This patch adds ltr support for RTL8116af, enables RTL8116af enter l1.2
state. This makes sense for the system to enter c10 state.

[PATCH net-next v1 6/6] r8169: fix RTL8116af can not enter s0idle and c10

[javen]

From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>

RTL8116AF is a multi-function device. Functions 2 to 7 are hidden from
the PCI core and return an all-ones response when their vendor ID is read,
so they are not enumerated as normal PCI functions.

However, these hidden functions can still affect platform power
management. If they are left in D0 or keep ASPM disabled, the platform may
fail to enter the low-power s0ix state and the CPU package may fail to
enter Package C10.

Put functions 2 to 7 into D3hot and enable ASPM on their PCIe link control
register. Since these functions are hidden, access their configuration
space through pci_bus_read_config_dword() / pci_bus_write_config_dword()
using the same slot and the target function numbers.

Ignore functions that return a PCI error response when reading their
configuration space.
