PATCH v2 1/1 drivers/net/phy: add driver for Microchip LAN867x 10BASE-T1S PHY

This patch adds support for the Microchip LAN867x 10BASE-T1S family (LAN8670/1/2). The driver supports P2MP with PLCA.

This patch adds support for the Microchip LAN867x 10BASE-T1S family (LAN8670/1/2). The driver supports P2MP with PLCA.

It is normal to list here what has changed since the last version. That gives reviewers an idea what comments have been address, and if any have been missed.

Sorry for missing the obvious, is it acceptable to ammend a list of changes changes in this reply, or would you prefer a V3 submission?

Changes:

    v2:

- Removed mentioning of not supporting auto-negotiation from commit
message
- Renamed file drivers/net/phy/lan867x.c ->
drivers/net/phy/microchip_t1s.c
- Renamed Kconfig option to reflect implementation filename (from
LAN867X_PHY to MICROCHIP_T1S_PHY)
- Moved entry in drivers/net/phy/KConfig to correct sort order
- Moved entry in drivers/net/phy/Makefile to correct sort order
- Moved variable declarations to conform to reverse christmas tree order
(in func lan867x_config_init)
- Moved register write to disable chip interrupts to func lan867x_config_init, when omitting the irq disable all togheter I got null pointer dereference, see the call trace below:

    Call Trace:
     <TASK>
     phy_interrupt+0xa8/0xf0 [libphy]
     irq_thread_fn+0x1c/0x60
     irq_thread+0xf7/0x1c0

     ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10
     ret_from_fork+0x29/0x50
     </TASK>

- Removed func lan867x_config_interrupt and removed the member .config_intr from the phy_driver struct

Testing:
This has been tested with ethtool --set/get-plca-cfg and verified on an oscilloscope where it was observed that:
- The PLCA beacon was enabled/disabled when setting the node-id to 0/not 0
- The PLCA beacon is transmitted with the expected frequency when changing max nodes
- Two devices using the evaluation board EVB-LAN8670-USB could ping each other

Request for comments:
Now that the module has changed name, maybe the funcs lan867x_config_init and lan867x_read_status should change name to microchip_t1s_config_init/read_status?

I believe there is an explicit convention documented somewhere (can't remember where, sorry) that help texts are indented with 2 spaces from the "help" word. Just like above, basically.

Kernel stack space eventually runs out, and defining large-ish arrays as local variables is always a problem. These don't appear to be large enough to cause problems, but it is a good practice to make constants go to the .rodata section, and that would be achieved by moving them to the global scope of this file (don't forget to make them static) and to give them more specific names (lan867x_fixup_regs, lan867x_fixup_values, lan867x_fixup_masks). Alternatively, if you insist on making them visible just to the scope of lan867x_config_init(), there is a way of doing that by making the local variables "static". That is essentially just syntactic sugar (they aren't put on stack) and is used more rarely.

Sounds really suboptimal if phylib has to poll once per second to find out static information. Does the PHY have an architectural limitation in that it does not report link status? Is it a T1S thing? Something should change here, but I'm not really sure what. A PHY that doesn't report link status seems... strange?

Hi Vladimir

I thought that as well. I skimmed the data sheet, and i don't see anything. You can maybe imply there is no link by looking for PLCA beacons, but i don't know how reliable that is. You are not forced to use PLCA, so there might not be any, but communication is still possible.

The other T1S PHY, NCN26000, does have link status. So i don't think it is a T1S thing.

Also, the typical use case of T1S is automotive. There are no RJ45 plug/sockets to be unplugged. It is an industrial connector. And i expect such applications don't really care about L2 connectivity. L7 either works, or it does not.

My thinking was, the overhead of a pointless poll once per second is minimal, not enough to justify a change to the core.
