Subject: net: bcmgenet: remove bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup()

From: Doug Berger <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 31739eae738ccbe8b9d627c3f2251017ca03f4d2 ]

Commit 6ac3ce8295e6 ("net: bcmgenet: Remove excessive PHY reset") removed the bcmgenet_mii_reset() function from bcmgenet_power_up() and bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() functions. In so doing it broke the reset of the internal PHY devices used by the GENETv1-GENETv3 which required this reset before the UniMAC was enabled. It also broke the internal GPHY devices used by the GENETv4 because the config_init that installed the AFE workaround was no longer occurring after the reset of the GPHY performed by bcmgenet_phy_power_set() in bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup(). In addition the code in bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() related to the "enable APD" comment goes with the bcmgenet_mii_reset() so it should have also been removed.

Commit bd4060a6108b ("net: bcmgenet: Power on integrated GPHY in bcmgenet_power_up()") moved the bcmgenet_phy_power_set() call to the bcmgenet_power_up() function, but failed to remove it from the bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() function. Had it done so, the bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() function would have been empty and could have been removed at that time.

Commit 5dbebbb44a6a ("net: bcmgenet: Software reset EPHY after power on") was submitted to correct the functional problems introduced by commit 6ac3ce8295e6 ("net: bcmgenet: Remove excessive PHY reset"). It was included in v4.4 and made available on 4.3-stable. Unfortunately, it didn't fully revert the commit because this bcmgenet_mii_reset() doesn't apply the soft reset to the internal GPHY used by GENETv4 like the previous one did. This prevents the restoration of the AFE work- arounds for internal GPHY devices after the bcmgenet_phy_power_set() in bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup().

This commit takes the alternate approach of removing the unnecessary bcmgenet_internal_phy_setup() function which shouldn't have been in v4.3 so that when bcmgenet_mii_reset() was restored it should have only gone into bcmgenet_power_up(). This will avoid the problems while also removing the redundancy (and hopefully some of the confusion).
