net: stmmac: platform: Fix MDIO init for platforms without PHY
The current implementation of "stmmac_dt_phy" function initializes
the MDIO platform bus data, even in the absence of PHY. This fix
will skip MDIO initialization if there is no PHY present.
Fixes: 7437127 ("net: stmmac: Convert to phylink and remove phylib logic")

The mdio bus will be allocated in case of a phy transceiver is on board, but if
fixed-link is configured, it will be NULL and of_mdiobus_register will
not take effect.
The commit d3e014ec7d5e fixes the code for fixed-link configuration.
However, some platforms like oxnas820 which have phy
transceivers (rgmii), fail. This is because the platforms expect the allocation
of mdio_bus_data during stmmac_dt_phy.
Proper solution to this is adding the mdio node in the device tree of the
platform which can be fetched by stmmac_dt_phy.
A rough addition to the Ethernet node can be as follows:
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_etha_mdio>;
+ mdio {
+ compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ };
};

The mdio bus will be allocated in case of a phy transceiver is on board, but if
fixed-link is configured, it will be NULL and of_mdiobus_register will
not take effect.
The commit d3e014ec7d5e fixes the code for fixed-link configuration.
However, some platforms like oxnas820 which have phy
transceivers (rgmii), fail. This is because the platforms expect the allocation
of mdio_bus_data during stmmac_dt_phy.
Proper solution to this is adding the mdio node in the device tree of the
platform which can be fetched by stmmac_dt_phy.
A rough addition to the Ethernet node can be as follows:
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_etha_mdio>;
+ mdio {
+ compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ };
};

There appears to be another possible flaw in the code here:
for_each_child_of_node(np, plat->mdio_node) {
if (of_device_is_compatible(plat->mdio_node,
"snps,dwmac-mdio"))
break;
}
the loop should use for_each_available_child_of_node() such that if a
platform has a Device Tree definition where the MDIO bus node was
provided but it was not disabled by default (a mistake, it should be
disabled by default), and a "fixed-link" property ended up being used at
the board level, we should not end-up with an invalid plat->mdio_node
reference. Then the code could possibly eliminate the use of 'mdio' as a
boolean and rely exclusively on plat->mdio_node. What do you think?
And an alternative to your fix would be to scan even further the MDIO
bus node for available child nodes, if there are none, do not perform
the MDIO initialization at all since we have no MDIO devices beneath.

That sounds reasonable, but we should also not break existing platforms
with existing Device Trees out there, as much as possible.

There appears to be another possible flaw in the code here:
for_each_child_of_node(np, plat->mdio_node) {
if (of_device_is_compatible(plat->mdio_node,
"snps,dwmac-mdio"))
break;
}
the loop should use for_each_available_child_of_node() such that if a
platform has a Device Tree definition where the MDIO bus node was
provided but it was not disabled by default (a mistake, it should be
disabled by default), and a "fixed-link" property ended up being used at
the board level, we should not end-up with an invalid plat->mdio_node
reference. Then the code could possibly eliminate the use of 'mdio' as a
boolean and rely exclusively on plat->mdio_node. What do you think?
And an alternative to your fix would be to scan even further the MDIO
bus node for available child nodes, if there are none, do not perform
the MDIO initialization at all since we have no MDIO devices beneath.

That sounds reasonable, but we should also not break existing platforms
with existing Device Trees out there, as much as possible.

Hello Florian,
Thanks for the review. We definitely see a problem here. For the platforms which have the snps,dwmac-mdio and they have made it disabled, it will fail.
Also, We can completely remove the mdio variable from the function stmmac_dt_phy as what we essentially do is to check the plat->mdio_node.
Something like this will help:

I understand your point. Changing DT should be the last thing we should do.
But, the code is broken for some platforms. Without the patch, the platforms with fixed-link will not work.
For example, stih418-b2199.dts, will fail without the commit d3e014ec7d5e.
With the patch, platforms with mdio and not declaring the dt parameters will fail.
For that , we have some proposal:
For the newer platforms , Make it mandatory to have the mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property.
There is no point of checking the device tree for mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property and populating the plat->mdio_node, if the platforms are not having them in the device tree and expect mdio bus memory allocation.
For the existing platforms, which do not have the mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property and still have the phy, if they can, they must modify the dt and include the mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property in their dts.
For those platforms, which cannot modify the dt due to some reason or other, the platform should have a quirk in the platform glue layers, and use it in the stmmac_platform driver stmmac_dt_phy function to enable the mdio.

Hello Florian,
Thanks for the review. We definitely see a problem here. For the platforms which have the snps,dwmac-mdio and they have made it disabled, it will fail.
Also, We can completely remove the mdio variable from the function stmmac_dt_phy as what we essentially do is to check the plat->mdio_node.
Something like this will help:

I understand your point. Changing DT should be the last thing we should do.
But, the code is broken for some platforms. Without the patch, the platforms with fixed-link will not work.
For example, stih418-b2199.dts, will fail without the commit d3e014ec7d5e.
With the patch, platforms with mdio and not declaring the dt parameters will fail.
For that , we have some proposal:
For the newer platforms , Make it mandatory to have the mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property.
There is no point of checking the device tree for mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property and populating the plat->mdio_node, if the platforms are not having them in the device tree and expect mdio bus memory allocation.
For the existing platforms, which do not have the mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property and still have the phy, if they can, they must modify the dt and include the mdio or snps,dwmac-mdio property in their dts.
For those platforms, which cannot modify the dt due to some reason or other, the platform should have a quirk in the platform glue layers, and use it in the stmmac_platform driver stmmac_dt_phy function to enable the mdio.

I do not think your patch is going to fix the problem that Heiko
reported because it would try to scan the MDIO bus node which is
non-existent. Also not sure what the return value of for_each_* is
supposed to be given it is a loop construct.

Humm then we should change the code to explicitly look for a fixed-link
node with the use of of_phy_is_fixed_link() (which would work on the old
style fixed-link that stih418-b2199.dts uses) instead of relying on some
implicit or explicit MDIO bus registration behavior.
The good thing is that I use arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-lamobo-r1.dts
on a nearly daily basis so I can test if that works/does not work with a
fixed-link plus a mdio bus node.

Yet that is what broke exactly here, the platforms that Heiko reported
the breakage on, albeit doing something arguably fragile, are not making
use of a phy-handle property nor a MDIO node to indicate where and how
to connect to a PHY, ended up broken. They use implicit bus scanning
going on by of_mdiobus_register().

This should be done, but I doubt it is going to be because those Device
Tree files are ABI and may be baked into firmware/boot loaders.

Again, I do not think this is practical to do at all, not would it scale
particularly well, given that the same compatible string for Rockchip
gmac has been used with both the correct way and the incorrect way of
specifying the connection to the PHY device node.

I do not think your patch is going to fix the problem that Heiko
reported because it would try to scan the MDIO bus node which is
non-existent. Also not sure what the return value of for_each_* is
supposed to be given it is a loop construct.

Humm then we should change the code to explicitly look for a fixed-link
node with the use of of_phy_is_fixed_link() (which would work on the old
style fixed-link that stih418-b2199.dts uses) instead of relying on some
implicit or explicit MDIO bus registration behavior.
The good thing is that I use arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-lamobo-r1.dts
on a nearly daily basis so I can test if that works/does not work with a
fixed-link plus a mdio bus node.

Yet that is what broke exactly here, the platforms that Heiko reported
the breakage on, albeit doing something arguably fragile, are not making
use of a phy-handle property nor a MDIO node to indicate where and how
to connect to a PHY, ended up broken. They use implicit bus scanning
going on by of_mdiobus_register().

This should be done, but I doubt it is going to be because those Device
Tree files are ABI and may be baked into firmware/boot loaders.

Again, I do not think this is practical to do at all, not would it scale
particularly well, given that the same compatible string for Rockchip
gmac has been used with both the correct way and the incorrect way of
specifying the connection to the PHY device node.

I do not think your patch is going to fix the problem that Heiko
reported because it would try to scan the MDIO bus node which is
non-existent. Also not sure what the return value of for_each_* is
supposed to be given it is a loop construct.

Humm then we should change the code to explicitly look for a fixed-link
node with the use of of_phy_is_fixed_link() (which would work on the old
style fixed-link that stih418-b2199.dts uses) instead of relying on some
implicit or explicit MDIO bus registration behavior.
The good thing is that I use arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-lamobo-r1.dts
on a nearly daily basis so I can test if that works/does not work with a
fixed-link plus a mdio bus node.

Yet that is what broke exactly here, the platforms that Heiko reported
the breakage on, albeit doing something arguably fragile, are not making
use of a phy-handle property nor a MDIO node to indicate where and how
to connect to a PHY, ended up broken. They use implicit bus scanning
going on by of_mdiobus_register().

This should be done, but I doubt it is going to be because those Device
Tree files are ABI and may be baked into firmware/boot loaders.

Again, I do not think this is practical to do at all, not would it scale
particularly well, given that the same compatible string for Rockchip
gmac has been used with both the correct way and the incorrect way of
specifying the connection to the PHY device node.

This should be done, but I doubt it is going to be because those Device
Tree files are ABI and may be baked into firmware/boot loaders.

Again, I do not think this is practical to do at all, not would it scale
particularly well, given that the same compatible string for Rockchip
gmac has been used with both the correct way and the incorrect way of
specifying the connection to the PHY device node.

This diff will not solve Heiko's problem. This diff is addressing a different issue.
What it intends to do is :
1. as we decide the value mdio valriable on the basis of plat->mdio_node
And then use it to decide the mdio_bus_data allocation, we can remove the
mdio variable altogether from the picture.
2. This was addressing another problem you figured. If some platforms
which have the property snps,dwmac-mdio present in dt, but it is disabled,
this diff will correct the behaviour.

This can be a possible solution. But rather that a proper fix, IMO, this looks more
like a hotfix for the platforms that do not include the snps,dwmac-mdio / mdio in
the device tree.
This is not targeting the actual issue here. By bypassing the issue, we may give rise to
bigger problems in future, and it will be difficult to maintain the code.

I know it’s a pain. It will be difficult to maintain for the 8 broken platforms which was
listed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/7/22.
But eventually, we will make the code better.
I went through the Rockchip code and I found
rockchip,px30-gmac is used for the broken platform. In the dwmac-rk.c glue file,
it also has the platform data, where rk_gmac_ops can hold the fix for the mdio,
and can update a new private data member of stmmac_platform driver, which can
hold the data passed from glue layer of the broken platforms. This in turn can leverage
and make amends to the mdio bool variable for the stmmac_platform
stmmac_dt_phy function.
Similar modification can be done for other broken platforms.

This diff will not solve Heiko's problem. This diff is addressing a different issue.
What it intends to do is :
1. as we decide the value mdio valriable on the basis of plat->mdio_node
And then use it to decide the mdio_bus_data allocation, we can remove the
mdio variable altogether from the picture.
2. This was addressing another problem you figured. If some platforms
which have the property snps,dwmac-mdio present in dt, but it is disabled,
this diff will correct the behaviour.

This can be a possible solution. But rather that a proper fix, IMO, this looks more
like a hotfix for the platforms that do not include the snps,dwmac-mdio / mdio in
the device tree.
This is not targeting the actual issue here. By bypassing the issue, we may give rise to
bigger problems in future, and it will be difficult to maintain the code.

I know it’s a pain. It will be difficult to maintain for the 8 broken platforms which was
listed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/7/22.
But eventually, we will make the code better.
I went through the Rockchip code and I found
rockchip,px30-gmac is used for the broken platform. In the dwmac-rk.c glue file,
it also has the platform data, where rk_gmac_ops can hold the fix for the mdio,
and can update a new private data member of stmmac_platform driver, which can
hold the data passed from glue layer of the broken platforms. This in turn can leverage
and make amends to the mdio bool variable for the stmmac_platform
stmmac_dt_phy function.
Similar modification can be done for other broken platforms.

Thank you a lot for looking into this! Unfortunately I was FTO and then
sick which caused my mails to pile up. I'll try to take a look at this
during the week. Please cc' me in the follow-up patches and sorry for my
delayed answer.
