[PATCH] net: stmmac: get phydev->interface from mac for mdio phy init

[Guan Wentao]

The phy->interface from mdiobus_get_phy is default from phy_device_create.
In some phy devices like at803x, we need the correct value to init delay.
Use priv->plat->interface to init if we know.

You commit message i missing a lot of details to make this easy to
review.

So you board is not using DT? And so there is not a DT node specifying
the phy-mode. You have some other way of getting the correct interface
mode into plat->interface. And since you don't have DT, you also have
some other mechanism to set plat->phy_addr to the address on the MDIO
bus. The code then directly gets the PHY from the MDIO bus, and calls
phylink_connect_phy() to connect the PHY. The old code used
phy_connect() which took an interface parameter but
phylink_connect_phy() does not. And that is your problem.

So your fix makes sense.

Please improve the commit message.

Please also take a look at

You should set the email Subject: line to indicate which tree this
patch is for.

Why do you need to do this?

You call phylink_create() with ->phy_interface, which tells phylink
which interface you want to use. Then, phylink_connect_phy().

phylink will then call phylink_attach_phy() and then phy_attach_direct()
with the interface you asked for (which was ->phy_interface).

phy_attach_direct() will then set phydev->interface to that interface
mode.

So, I think what you have above is a hack rather than a proper fix,
and the real problem is elsewhere.

This is v2 of this patch, so let me make some comments about that.

* Firstly, unless asked to repost by a reviewer/maintainer,
  it's generally bad practice to post a patch(set) more than once within 24h.

* If it is a networking but fix, then it should be targeted at the 'net' tree.
  Otherwise, networking patches should be targeted at the 'net-next' tree.
  In either case this should be noted in the subject.

  Also, v2 (and so on), should be noted in the subject.

  Something like this:

  [PATCH v2 net-next] net: stmmac: get phydev->interface from mac for mdio phy

* When posting revised patches, it's important to note what has changed.
  typically that goes below the scissors ('---').

  Something like this;

  v2:
  * Fixed blah
  * Updated foo

* Please read the FAQ
