[PATCH] arm64: dts: renesas: rzg2: Add internal rx delay

[PATCH] arm64: dts: renesas: rzg2: Add internal rx delay

[Biju Das]

Hihope boards use Realtek PHY. From the very beginning it use only
tx delays. However the phy driver commit bbc4d71d63549bcd003
("net: phy: realtek: fix rtl8211e rx/tx delay config") introduced
NFS mount failure. Now it needs rx delay inaddition to tx delay
for NFS mount to work. This patch fixes NFS mount failure issue
by adding MAC internal rx delay.

i.e. will queue in renesas-devel for v5.15.

Do you want a Fixes: tag?

It is a tricky situation. The phy patch is introduced in 5.9 and is backported to 5.8. 
But we don't have MaC internal delays on those kernels. So Fixes for 5.10+ will be ok I guess,
So that at least this fix will land on cip 5.10 kernel.

Biju

Fixes: bbc4d71d63549bcd ("net: phy: realtek: fix rtl8211e rx/tx delay config")

Then the stable people are at least aware that backporting the PHY
commit can cause issues.

So after it has hit upstream, you can send the patch to stable with the
following added:

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.10.x: a6f51f2efa742df0 ravb: Add
support for explicit internal clock delay configuration

I hope I got the syntax right. And there may be dependencies to backport,
too.

As this doesn't fix an issue introduced in v5.13 or v5.14-rc1, I'll queue
this for v5.15. CIP can still take it.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Thank you. Will post the patch to stable once it hit mainline.
