[PATCH v2 0/2] provide support for PHY master/slave configuration

[Oleksij Rempel]

changes v2:
- change names. Use MASTER_PREFERRED instead of MULTIPORT
- configure master/slave only on request. Default configuration can be
  provided by PHY or eeprom
- status and configuration to the user space.

[PATCH v2 1/2] ethtool: provide UAPI for PHY master/slave configuration.

[Oleksij Rempel]

This UAPI is needed for BroadR-Reach 100BASE-T1 devices. Due to lack of
auto-negotiation support, we needed to be able to configure the
MASTER-SLAVE role of the port manually or from an application in user
space.

The same UAPI can be used for 1000BASE-T or MultiGBASE-T devices to
force MASTER or SLAVE role. See IEEE 802.3-2018:
22.2.4.3.7 MASTER-SLAVE control register (Register 9)
22.2.4.3.8 MASTER-SLAVE status register (Register 10)
40.5.2 MASTER-SLAVE configuration resolution
45.2.1.185.1 MASTER-SLAVE config value (1.2100.14)
45.2.7.10 MultiGBASE-T AN control 1 register (Register 7.32)

The MASTER-SLAVE role affects the clock configuration:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the  PHY is configured as MASTER, the PMA Transmit function shall
source TX_TCLK from a local clock source. When configured as SLAVE, the
PMA Transmit function shall source TX_TCLK from the clock recovered from
data stream provided by MASTER.

      |<--- 125 MHz ---+-<------/  |        | \          |

                                               ^
                                                \-TX_TCLK

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since some clock or link related issues are only reproducible in a
specific MASTER-SLAVE-role, MAC and PHY configuration, it is beneficial
to provide generic (not 100BASE-T1 specific) interface to the user space
for configuration flexibility and trouble shooting.

[PATCH v2 2/2] net: phy: tja11xx: add support for master-slave configuration

[Oleksij Rempel]

The TJA11xx PHYs have a vendor specific Master/Slave configuration bit,
which is not compatible with IEEE 803.2-2018 spec for 100Base-T1
devices. So, provide a custom config_ange call back to solve this
problem.

Shouldn't you validate what has been passed from userspace it before
setting it?

You had me confused for a while. You are packing multiple things into
master_slave_get. Some bits are configuration, some are current
state. I don't like this. I think this is so you can shoe-horn this
into the existing IOCTL API? There are limited spare bytes?

Maybe we should not support this via the IOCTL, only the netlink
ethtool?

We would want two enums here, one for configuration, one for state.

Here we return both configuration and current state.

Here we expect just configuration.

There actually is space for two fields in the ethtool_link_settings,
so i don't see why you actually did not use two.
