[RFC-PATCH] net: stmmac: Add KR port support.

[Daniel Walker]

From: Balamurugan Selvarajan <balamsel@cisco.com>

For KR port the mii interface is a chip-to-chip
interface without a mechanical connector. So PHY
inits are not applicable. In this case MAC is
configured to operate at forced speed(1000Mbps)
and full duplex. Modified driver to accommodate
PHY and NON-PHY mode.

You are not adding KR support per-se, you are just hacking the driver so
it is happy with an unspecified phy_interface_t value and assuming
1000Mbits/sec, this is not going to work.

Just add KR/backplane properly or use a fixed-link property hardcoded
for 1000Mbits/sec and be done with it with no hacking, which would be
just way better than what is proposed here.

I agree with Florian here. Look at all the in kernel examples of a SoC
MAC connected to an Ethernet switch. Some use rgmii, others 1000BaseX
or higher. But they all follow the same scheme, and don't need
invasive MAC driver changes.

Can you provide the examples which you looked at ?

Can we clarify exactly what you are talking about here. What does
"KR port" refer to? What protocol is spoken by this port? Is it
1000BASE-KX (1000BASE-X over backplane)? Does it include 10GBASE-KR?

Thanks.

There are plenty of examples using Freescale FEC and Marvell Ethernet
switches:

arch/arm/boot/dts/vf610-zii-dev-rev-b.dts

Or the Mavell based

arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-xp-linksys-mamba.dts
