net: phy: realtek: convert RTL8226-CG to c45 only
Short: Convert the RTL8226-CG to c45 so it can be used in its Realtek based ecosystems. Long: The RTL8226-CG can be mainly found on devices of the Realtek Otto switch platform. Devices like the Zyxel XGS1210-12 are based on it. These implement a hardware based phy polling in the background to update SoC status registers. The hardware provides 4 smi busses where phys are attached to. For each bus one can decide if it is polled in c45 or c22 mode. See https://svanheule.net/realtek/longan/register/smi_glb_ctrl With this setting the register access will be limited by the hardware. This is very complex (including caching and special c45-over-c22 handling). But basically it boils down to "enable protocol x and SoC will disable register access via protocol y". Mainline already gained support for the rtl9300 mdio driver in commit 24e31e474769 ("net: mdio: Add RTL9300 MDIO driver"). It covers the basic features, but a lot effort is still needed to understand hardware properly. So it runs a simple setup by selecting the proper bus mode during startup. /* Put the interfaces into C45 mode if required */ glb_ctrl_mask = GENMASK(19, 16); for (i = 0; i < MAX_SMI_BUSSES; i++) if (priv->smi_bus_is_c45[i]) glb_ctrl_val |= GLB_CTRL_INTF_SEL(i); ... err = regmap_update_bits(regmap, SMI_GLB_CTRL, glb_ctrl_mask, glb_ctrl_val); To avoid complex coding later on, it limits access by only providing either c22 or c45: bus->name = "Realtek Switch MDIO Bus"; if (priv->smi_bus_is_c45[mdio_bus]) { bus->read_c45 = rtl9300_mdio_read_c45; bus->write_c45 = rtl9300_mdio_write_c45; } else { bus->read = rtl9300_mdio_read_c22; bus->write = rtl9300_mdio_write_c22; } Because of these limitations the existing RTL8226 phy driver is not working at all on Realtek switches. Convert the driver to c45-only. Luckily the RTL8226 seems to support proper MDIO_PMA_EXTABLE flags. So standard function genphy_c45_pma_read_abilities() can call genphy_c45_pma_read_ext_abilities() and 10/100/1000 is populated right. Thus conversion is straight forward. Outputs before - REMARK: For this a "hacked" bus was used that toggles the mode for each c22/c45 access. But that is slow and produces unstable data in the SoC status registers).
