Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] ethtool: implement Energy Detect Powerdown support via phy-tunable
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2019 19:28:10 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190912162812.402-1-alexandru.ardelean@analog.com> (raw)
This changeset proposes a new control for PHY tunable to control Energy
Detect Power Down.
The `phy_tunable_id` has been named `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD` since it looks like
this feature is common across other PHYs (like EEE), and defining
`ETHTOOL_PHY_ENERGY_DETECT_POWER_DOWN` seems too long.
The way EDPD works, is that the RX block is put to a lower power mode,
except for link-pulse detection circuits. The TX block is also put to low
power mode, but the PHY wakes-up periodically to send link pulses, to avoid
lock-ups in case the other side is also in EDPD mode.
Currently, there are 2 PHY drivers that look like they could use this new
PHY tunable feature: the `adin` && `micrel` PHYs.
This series updates only the `adin` PHY driver to support this new feature,
as this chip has been tested. A change for `micrel` can be proposed after a
discussion of the PHY-tunable API is resolved.

Changelog v3 -> v4:
* impose the TX interval unit for EDPD to be milliseconds; the point was
raised by Michal; this should allow for intervals:
- as small as 1 millisecond, which does not sound like a power-saver
- as large as 65 seconds, which sounds like a lot to wait for a link to
come up
Changelog v2 -> v3:
* implement Andrew's review comments:
1. for patch `ethtool: implement Energy Detect Powerdown support via
phy-tunable`
- ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DFLT_TX_INTERVAL == 0xffff
- ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_NO_TX == 0xfffe
- added comment in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
2. for patch `net: phy: adin: implement Energy Detect Powerdown mode via
phy-tunable`
- added comments about interval & units for the ADIN PHY
- in `adin_set_edpd()`: add a switch statement of all the valid values
- in `adin_get_edpd()`: return `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DFLT_TX_INTERVAL`
since the PHY only supports a single TX-interval value (1 second)
Changelog v1 -> v2:
* initial series was made up of 2 sub-series: 1 for kernel & 1 for ethtool
in userspace; v2 contains only the kernel series
2.20.1
