[PATCH v1] net: eth-uclass: Change uclass driver name to ethernet

[David Wu]

dev_read_alias_seq() used uc_drv->name compared to alias
stem string, Ethernet's alias stem uses "ethernet", which
does not match the eth-uclass driver name "eth", can not
get the correct index of ethernet alias namer. So it seems
change uclass driver name to match the alias stem is a more
reasonable way.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!

I'm reverting this change as it breaks a number of tests that need to be
updated to match on the new name.

David, are you planning to submit a new version? If I'm not
mistaken, the following changes should be enought to make the
tests pass again:

In commit cc32fd911aa9 ("arm: dts: ls1028a: Add Ethernet switch
node and dependencies") there was recently an additon to a board
which actually uses these aliases. So this patch should change
them too.

I was actually under the impression that the alias was
"ethernetN" and added them to my board, see
arch/arm/fsl-ls1028a-kontron*u-boot.dtsi. Seems like I wasn't
the first one which was mistaken:

$ grep "ethernet. =" arch/**/*u-boot.dtsi

arch/arm/dts/stm32mp15xx-dhcom-u-boot.dtsi:		ethernet1 = &ksz8851;

So at the moment  I'm not sure if I should fix my dtsi files
to use the ethN aliases or if I should just wait because this
patch will make it into u-boot soon.

I could also pick up this patch, amend it and resubmit it
myself.

Sorry, not sure that I understand. We are talking about the following
code path, right?

device_bind_common
-> dev_read_alias_seq
   -> of_alias_get_id
      -> strcmp(app->stem, stem)

Why on earth is it called "stem" if strcmp is used?

I'm not sure if there's any C standard library for string prefix
comparison, but at least I know iproute2 uses a custom function
(copy-pasted below):

-----------------------------[ cut here ]-----------------------------
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

/* Returns false if 'prefix' is a not empty prefix of 'string'.
 */
bool matches(const char *prefix, const char *string)
{
	if (!*prefix)
		return true;
	while (*string && *prefix == *string) {
		prefix++;
		string++;
	}

	return !!*prefix;
}

int main(void)
{
	char *str1 = "eth";
	char *str2 = "ethernet";

	printf("strcmp returns %d\n", strcmp(str1, str2));
	printf("matches returns %d\n", matches(str2, str1));
	printf("reverse matches returns %d\n", matches(str1, str2));

	return 0;
}
-----------------------------[ cut here ]-----------------------------

strcmp returns -101
matches returns 0

Wasn't the intention of David's patch, in fact, to have the new uclass
name also match on "eth" aliases? If I'm correct, doesn't this mean
we'll have to replace the strcmp with an actual stem check?

I would not, under any circumstance, break compatibility with "eth"
alias names.

Damn, I posted the wrong output. Of course the program returns:

strcmp returns -101
matches returns 1
reverse matches returns 0

I'm not sure if it should really be just a prefix match but a full
string compare.

I guess it was intended the other way around, to rename the "ethN"
aliases to "ethernetN". The latter are used way more in u-boot's device
trees and linux' device trees just use ethernetN aliases, though I'm
not sure where they are used (can't find any of_alias_get_id("ethernet")
in linux). So this makes sense, no?

Assuming that ethN is not used expect in u-boot device trees, how would
we break backwards compatibility? Also it seems that the only users of
the ethN aliases are the sandbox and u-boot's DSA.

Bad phrasing, I meant to ask if it was intended to _still_ match on
"eth" aliases.

By the way, Linux drivers use a combination of "ethernet" and "eth":
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/samsung/sxgbe/sxgbe_platform.c#L43
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmmii.c#L441

I took another look, I was under the impression that
fdtdec_set_ethernet_mac_address searches by "eth" in the /aliases node
of the linux device tree, but it searches by "ethernet". Fair then.

Tough luck in that case for those who got it right, ugh I mean wrong, by
actually looking at the code to see what it searches for?

So yeah, this patch is waiting for someone to update the existing
aliases, and you seem to be a valid candidate. Although it's low impact,
and it's all in-tree so it isn't breaking any interface, it is up to you
if you value consistency more than correctness. I would probably fix
just the device tree you care about to use "eth" instead of "ethernet",
that seems the most localized solution to a concrete problem, then you
could convert the uclass name to "ethernet" and therefore fix all the
other users at once (and at the same time update the kontron boards).
The reason why I would leave that at the end is because when you 'fix'
stuff that isn't broken, nice surprises are always bound to happen, and
I don't think you want your board to still remain broken at the end of
some bug-canceling-another-bug-on-board-you-don't-have debugging
headaches.

fdtdec_set_ethernet_mac_address() seems to be "only" used by tegra?

Fair enough. And I might fix em, the only user is the kontron board
with the DSA support which wasn't picked up yet. But then yeah, I
can't stand it that one sl28 variant has ethernetN aliases and the
other as ethN aliases *g*

Btw another user might be

Thats actually why I noticed the inconsistency and found this patch.

If we have the choice, 'eth' is shorter  = better.

This is how it looks in the linux tree:

$ grep "ethernet[0-9].*=.*&" arch/**/*dts{,i}|wc -l
633
$ grep "eth[0-9].*=.*&" arch/**/*dts{,i}|wc -l
0

This is in the u-boot tree:
$ grep "ethernet[0-9].*=.*&" arch/**/*dts{,i}|wc -l
261
$ grep "eth[0-9].*=.*&" arch/**/*dts{,i}|wc -l
13

So "ethernet" it is.

Yes, 'ethernet' is the recommended node name as per the Devicetree
